Students, alumni, and parents alike know how essential our supportive community is to the overall WPI experience. In our community, people of all backgrounds can be themselves and reach their potential. Many students find that support in athletics teams, clubs and organizations, and Greek Life.

“While academics is what helps to bring people to WPI, I am truly a believer that the community and campus life is what keeps students here. From being involved in Student Government Association, Student Alumni Society, Omicron Delta Kappa, Chi Omega, and more, I have been able to truly experience the impact of a close and vibrant campus community. All of these groups help to create a home for me on the hill.”

In-person interactions and physical spaces are more important than ever. In these spaces, our community lives, learns, shares ideas, and solves world problems.

Unity Hall is a state-of-the-art academic and research facility. It supports interdisciplinary connections and collaborations across campus. Student community centers foster student success and provide a meaningful sense of belonging and community.

And regular upgrades and renovations, such as to Kaven Hall and Stratton Hall in recent years, ensure our spaces are accessible, sustainable, and equipped with the latest technology.

“In a way, the renovation of Kaven Hall is just one way in which we all say, ‘here is some space for you—please use it so that you can go out and save the world!’”

Carrick Eggleston, Professor, Civil, Environmental, & Architectural Engineering
