Campus

Missituk University Campus

The campus area is a New Jerusalem showplace. Landscaped and kept immaculately clean, the university grounds are a cool and shady place for a summer walk. Almost all of the university’s buildings are found here, including the hospital and the field house. Like the merchant district, the campus is on low ground, which noticeably climbs only south of College Street.   North of Crane Street and west of West Street is a block of substantial residential homes, designed in the Georgian/Federalist style. Many of these large homes are no longer residences, but are maintained as offices by the university or other organizations. This block is as well groomed as any part of the campus. College Street contains, besides campus buildings, many old family homes that have been converted to apartments and boarding houses, where most of the junior and senior men who belong to fraternities live.   West of Boundary Street are blocks of older, more modest residences. Hill Street is a brand new, well built 1953 improvement, updating the old unlit dirt road underlain by a foundation of ancient rotting timbers that once served as one of New Jerusalem's worst roads. This very rustic section of town contains many seventeenth-century homes, and the families of the inhabitants have lived in them for ten generations and more, datable to the first settlement of New Jerusalem.  

Missituk University Locations

 

The Miskatonic Campus

 

West Campus

Missituk began to expand toward the western edge of New Jerusalem with the establishment of St. Mary’s Teaching Hospital in 1861. As the University’s requirements have expanded, the city blocks west of campus have been steadily assimilated. The citizens of New Jerusalem have not protested the school’s growth yet, but that would quickly change were the University to expand west significantly, beyond Boundary, or indeed expand beyond Pitman, Church, or Garrison Streets.  

South Campus

College Street contains, besides campus buildings, many old family homes that have been converted to apartments and boarding houses. Most of the junior and senior men who belong to fraternities live along College Street. The west end of College Street was the site of the original main building of Missituk Liberal College. The Exhibit Museum stands there now. Over the years, more and more of the properties along College Street have been absorbed by the growing institution. Cynical townies wonder how long it will be before the hungry university buys the Hotel Missituk and converts it into dorm space.
