Our campus buildings reflect the continuous growth of Northeastern. The main campus is complimented by the nearby Applied Technical Campus. Landscaping, parking facilities, campus lighting, and well-kept streets and sidewalks enhance the campus. The names of several buildings honor persons significantly identified with college history.
