Located in the city of Camden, the campus is in the
transportation
hub of southern New Jersey, directly across the Delaware River from
Center City Philadelphia. Numerous highways, the River LINE light-rail system, and the PATCO High Speed
Line provide quick, dependable access to the urban campus.
Approximately 90 percent of the students, most of whom are from the
Delaware Valley region, commute daily.
The major buildings on campus include the Campus Center with a student health center; the Business and Science
Building; the Science Building; two residence halls; Paul Robeson Library; Armitage Hall, a classroom/office building with a wing for
administrative services; the Athletic and Fitness Center; and the Fine Arts Building, which
houses the 663-seat Walter K. Gordon Theater, the Stedman Art Gallery,
and classrooms.
The Rutgers–Camden Tower houses 252
undergraduate students in 42 suites. Another residence hall houses
graduate and law students. Construction on a new residence facility for graduate students is scheduled for completion in 2012. In addition, many students reside nearby in
private apartments.
