Welcome to Campus: Our Facilities

Parking
Our campus is easily accessible by bicycle, bus and automobile. If you choose to drive to Western Seminary, you will not need a parking permit to use the parking lots. You are welcome to park in the paved parking lots on the north and east sides of the campus. As a courtesy to our neighbors, we ask students not to park on the north side of Madison Street or the east side of 57th Avenue. For the safety of your belongings, we recommend that you do not leave your car in the parking lots overnight.

Student Center and Café
Western Seminary’s Student Center and café are located in the chapel basement. The Student Center is designed as a space for you to enjoy meals, study, check your mailbox, access our wireless internet network or visit with friends.  Our café provides hot meals on select days throughout the week. Additionally, there are deli-style sandwiches, snacks, chips, fruit and microwaveable entrees available for purchase. You can purchase food from the café by using our IOU system or by paying in cash. Please be aware that any IOUs that are not paid by the end of the month will be applied to your student account.

Clive-Tunnell Library
Our library belongs to a consortium of five Christian college and seminary libraries which have merged their holdings into one online database, giving you access to more than 93,000 volumes and nearly 230 theological journal subscriptions. We have valuable resources on the Bible, theology, counseling, and a selection of entertaining fiction as well. The library is open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 7:45 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Wednesday and Friday from 7:45 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. You will be able to check out books and access the online database once you have requested and received your student ID card.

Campus Safety and Security
Western has an on-campus caretaker, Chris Smith, who is available to assist students 24 hours a day. If you would like an escort to your car after an evening class, if your car battery dies and you need a jump start, or if you feel your safety is threatened in any way, please call John at 503.720.0635. We also invite you to contact Physical Plant Director Cliff Stein any time safety or security is a concern, at 503.459.9676.
