Burwell Hall

Welcome to Queens University of Charlotte. We were founded in 1857, and today we're a comprehensive, masters-level university, with degree options that include full-time or part-time, day or evening. Here, you have the personal attention of a small, private university with the excitement and opportunities of a dynamic city. Please join me for a tour, and experience what it's like to be a Royal. Welcome to Burwell Hall, one of five original buildings dating back to 1914, the year Queens moved from downtown Charlotte to its current location in Myers Park. Today, Burwell Hall houses administrative offices, including the office of our president, Dr. Pamela Davies, who has served as our president since 2002. It also features elegant parlors and an outdoor terrace used for social functions and group meetings.

McEwen Hall

Tour stop audio transcript

This is McEwen Hall, home to the English department, as well as most classes in the humanities. Our class sizes are small – usually just 16-20 students – giving you the opportunity for close relationships and collaboration with your peers. You'll form tight relationships with faculty as well. Here, it's common for professors to engage students in research projects and to connect them with internship and career opportunities. Your professors will become your mentors, many of whom you'll stay in touch with long after graduation. McEwen is also home to our Veterans Lounge, a special place for our military students to relax and study. At Queens we value our military students. We're even ranked a top regional university for veterans.

Diana Fountain

Tour stop audio transcript

Meet Diana. A sculpture casting of Young Diana, Goddess of the Hunt, has stood at the center of the courtyard here since 1940. She may be a statue, but Diana makes plenty of statements – fashion statements, that is. On graduation, students dress her in a cap and gown. On Halloween, you'll probably see a pumpkin on her head. On Veteran's Day, she might wear military fatigues. Students have a long-standing tradition of dressing Diana for campus celebrations, so when we celebrate, Diana celebrates with us. The creativity continues behind Diana, where you'll find Watkins Hall. Watkins houses our art department studios, including sculpture, photography, print-making, and design. Here, the Max L. Jackson Gallery hosts monthly art shows, displaying works from students, faculty, and even national artists.

Residential Quad

A lot of campus life occurs beneath the beautiful oak trees in the middle of campus. Students lounge in our new Eno Village, hanging hammocks in the shade, sometimes two or three hammocks high. A firepit offers a warm place to gather on chilly nights, and Frisbees and footballs often fly here in the evenings. You'll find many ways to stay active here. Whether you're looking for club sports, service projects, Greek life, or arts organizations – or, perhaps, a combination of several – one of our 40 clubs and organizations will offer something you'll enjoy. Our new outdoor classroom is here as well, providing one of several locations for professors to hold classes outside when the weather's too beautiful to be indoors. Bordering the quad are three residence halls, offering traditional house, suite, or apartment-style living. All residence halls offer free, in-building laundry facilities and communal spaces for residents to relax together.

Hall Brown Terrace

Tour stop audio transcript

Picture the scene. You, in a cap in gown, walking across this terrace to receive your diploma and a Congratulations from the president. This is the place where that will happen. Hall-Brown Terrace, built in 2015, is the scene of Spring commencement. And on any other day, it's the scene of students filling tables for study groups or catching up with friends. Some of the buildings on campus date back to 1914, including Burwell Hall behind this terrace, while others are newly renovated. But no matter their age, they share an architectural motif of red brick with white trim, creating a unified appearance that respects our historic character. Perhaps nowhere on campus can this architecture be admired more than from right here, standing on the terrace looking out over campus.

Rogers Science Hall

Tour stop audio transcript

Welcome to Rogers Hall, built in 2013, and designed to be a hands-on, living laboratory. Inside Rogers, you'll find classrooms for our departments of math, physics, chemistry, environmental science, and biology. Our students work directly with faculty on real research projects, often making a difference in the local or even global community. This building was lauded when it opened for its innovative and sustainable features. On top of Rogers, you'll find a rooftop greenhouse that can simulate growing conditions from desert to rainforest, which students can use for their research. Outside, you'll see a living wall, with plants growing in a pattern that forms a double helix design. But this living wall is more science than art: it's a sustainable feature that minimizes energy consumption in the building.
