, Our lady of The Woods Chapel & Siena Complex at Bellarmine University Over 40 buildings stand on the hills of Bellarmine's campus in Louisville's
Belknap neighborhood, at the western edge of the larger
Highlands area.
The Owsley B. Frazier Stadium The multi-purpose stadium serves as home to Bellarmine's
soccer,
field hockey,
lacrosse, and
track and field teams. The stadium opened on August 24, 2007, in a Bellarmine Knights women's soccer game, and was officially dedicated on August 28.
Our Lady of The Woods Chapel The chapel was dedicated on May 11, 2001, as a place of worship for Bellarmine students. The surrounding community celebrates
Mass in the chapel on Sundays and
holy days of obligation, and uses the chapel for retreats and interfaith services. Because it does not have parish status, its use is restricted. No weddings, baptisms, or funerals are held there.
Siena Complex The Siena Complex is composed of four residence halls: Siena Primo, Siena Secondo, Siena Terzo and Siena Quarto. The complex is modeled after the
Piazza del Campo, the main town center of Siena,
Italy. Bellarmine's namesake, St. Robert Bellarmine, was a native of Tuscany, where Siena is. The
Siena Housing Project is a project to have half of the school's undergraduate population live on campus. Cumulatively, the Siena Complex will house 519 students and cost $33.6 million.
Knights Hall Knights Hall is home to Bellarmine's volleyball team and men's wrestling team; the men's and women's basketball teams practice in Knights Hall but play in Louisville's
Freedom Hall as of 2020. The arena was built in 1960 and can seat up to 2,196 fans.
Eddie Weber Tennis Complex & SuRF Center The Eddie Weber Tennis Complex was dedicated on September 12, 2009, and is adjacent to the Student Recreation and Fitness Center (SuRF). The courts are named for Eddie Weber, the only man to have been a head coach for both the
University of Louisville and Bellarmine. The complex houses 6 outdoor tennis courts with 3 additional indoor courts in the SuRF Center. Inside the SuRF Center are two multi-purpose basketball courts, the exercise and fitness area, locker rooms, and offices. The fitness area is supplied with treadmills, bikes, elliptical weight machines, and free weights. The floor space is divided into
laboratories, faculty offices and
classrooms. The facility also includes a courtyard for the science quadrangle. Architects Thomas J. Nolan & sons designed the facility in "modern" 1950s style and Al J. Schneider Company was the
general contractor. The project is dubbed "Bellarmine Centro" and calls for the addition of more than of new space and approximately of remodeled space in the existing building. There will be space for a new Graduate School of Management,
bookstore,
admissions,
registrar,
bursar and
financial aid offices. Classrooms will be added and expanded and a new space dedicated to triple the size of the
Thomas Merton Center, the official repository of Merton's manuscripts, which hosts approximately 3,000 research international scholars and visitors annually. A
