Our Campus

SJA continues to expand and enhance our campus with specialized facilities designed to provide spaces for our students to develop their passions and hone their talents. Among the recent additions to our campus are:

The Fife Student Commons is the newest addition to campus. The 5,000-square foot building provides comfortable dining seating for 300 students and auditorium-style seating for up to 400 students. With wraparound arcades and floor-to-ceiling arched windows, the space is filled with natural light, providing enticing spaces for individual and group study, gathering spots, club meetings and evening events.

The Academy Student Center  includes a multipurpose gymnasium, fitness room, lobby space, locker rooms and concession area. The 23,150-square foot facility enables student-athletes to compete in a state-of-the-art space while meeting the health and wellness educational needs of the entire student body.  

The Andrea Clesi McMakin ’74 STEM Lab, which contains 3D printers and laser cutters and is the classroom for our Engineering courses and home to our Robotics team, is located in Medaille Hall. Our emphasis on the science, technology, engineering and math disciplines has led to SJA being named a STEM School of Excellence by the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association. 

We invite you to visit campus to see our facilities for yourself.
