Dartmouth's campus buildings vary in age from Wentworth and Thornton Halls of the 1820s (the oldest surviving buildings constructed by the college) to new dormitories and mathematics facilities completed in 2006.<ref name="Kemeny Hall and Haldeman Center"/><ref name="McLaughlin Cluster Residence Halls"/> Most of Dartmouth's buildings are designed in the [[Georgian architecture#Colonial Georgian architecture|Georgian colonial architecture]] style,<ref name="CIC Historic Campus Architecture Project"/><ref name="Atkin Olshin Lawson-Bell Architects"/><ref name="A History of American Higher Education"/> a theme which has been preserved in recent architectural additions.<ref name="Dartmouth Landscape Design Guidelines"/> The college has actively sought to reduce carbon emissions and energy usage on campus, earning it the grade of A− from the Sustainable Endowments Institute on its College Sustainability Report Card 2008.<ref name="Dartmouth Sustainability Initiative"/><ref name="College Sustainability Report Card 2008"/>

A notable feature of the Dartmouth campus is its many trees which (despite [[Dutch elm disease]]) include some 200 [[Ulmus americana|American elms]].<ref>{{cite web | title=Old Growth – Dartmouth's elms endure as defining features of the campus | url=http://www.dartmouth.edu/~dartlife/archives/17-3/elms.html | website=Dartmouth College website, Dartmouth Life Home | access-date=December 26, 2014 | date=June 2007 | quote=The College's claim on the landscape began with the felling of the great white pines that grew on the plain above the Connecticut River; planting came later. By the middle of the 19th century, villages and towns throughout New England—and eventually across the nation—were shading their streets with the American elm, Ulmus americana. A circa 1840 watercolor image of the College depicts graceful young elms edging the Green. "If you look at pictures of old Hanover," says John Gratiot, associate vice president for Facilities Operations and Management, "Main Street and College Street were completely lined with elms, like a green tunnel." | archive-date=January 4, 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150104202815/http://www.dartmouth.edu/~dartlife/archives/17-3/elms.html | url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web| title=50 Trees in 50 Minutes |url=http://sites.dartmouth.edu/gradforum/2014/10/01/50-trees-in-50-minutes/| website=Dartmouth College website, The Graduate Forum |access-date=December 26, 2014| date=October 1, 2014| url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150104202313/http://sites.dartmouth.edu/gradforum/2014/10/01/50-trees-in-50-minutes/ |archive-date=January 4, 2015| df=mdy-all}}</ref> The campus also has the largest [[Kentucky coffeetree]] in New Hampshire, at 91&nbsp;ft tall.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://unhcoopext.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Shortlist/index.html?appid=bc24f6238db1475e9d6bc3ef2d061c0f| title = New Hampshire Big Tree Map| access-date = April 23, 2021| archive-date = April 23, 2021| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210423003747/https://unhcoopext.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Shortlist/index.html?appid=bc24f6238db1475e9d6bc3ef2d061c0f| url-status = live}}</ref>

While Dartmouth's campus is located in a rural setting, it is connected to several major cities by intercity bus services that directly serve Dartmouth and Hanover. [[Concord Coach Lines|Dartmouth Coach]] provides service from Hanover to [[South Station]] and [[Logan International Airport]] in [[Boston]] as well as [[New York City]], while [[Greyhound Lines]] operates a daily route connecting Hanover and [[Montreal]]. All three cities are popular weekend/vacation destinations for Dartmouth students.

=== Athletic facilities ===
[[File:Dartmouth College campus 2007-06-23 Memorial Field 02.JPG|thumb|[[Memorial Field (Dartmouth College)|Memorial Field]]]]
Dartmouth's original sports field was [[The Green (Dartmouth College)|the Green]], where students played [[cricket]] and [[old division football]] during the 19th century.<ref name="dartmo-green"/> Today, two of Dartmouth's athletic facilities are located in the southeast corner of campus.<ref name="dcaf"/> The center of athletic life is the [[Alumni Gymnasium (Dartmouth College)|Alumni Gymnasium]], which includes the Karl Michael Competition Pool and the Spaulding Pool, a fitness center, a weight room, and a 1/13th-mile (123&nbsp;m) indoor track.<ref name="Alumni Gym"/> Attached to Alumni Gymnasium is the Berry Sports Center, which contains basketball and volleyball courts ([[Leede Arena]]), as well as the Kresge Fitness Center.<ref name="Berry Sports Center"/> Behind the Alumni Gymnasium is [[Memorial Field (Dartmouth)|Memorial Field]], a 15,600-seat stadium overlooking Dartmouth's football field and track.<ref name="Memorial Field"/> The nearby [[Thompson Arena]], designed by Italian engineer [[Pier Luigi Nervi]] and constructed in 1975, houses Dartmouth's ice rink.<ref name="Thompson Arena"/> Also visible from Memorial Field is the {{convert|91800|sqft|m2|adj=on}} Nathaniel Leverone Fieldhouse, home to the indoor track. The new softball field, Dartmouth Softball Park, was constructed in 2012, sharing parking facilities with Thompson arena and replacing Sachem Field, located over a mile from campus, as the primary softball facility.

Dartmouth's other athletic facilities in Hanover include the Friends of Dartmouth Rowing Boathouse and the old rowing house storage facility (both located along the Connecticut River), the [[Hanover Country Club]], Dartmouth's oldest remaining athletic facility (established in 1899),<ref name="History"/> and the Corey Ford Rugby Clubhouse.<ref name="Rugby Fires It Up With New Clubhouse"/> The college also maintains the [[Dartmouth Skiway]], a {{convert|100|acre|km2|adj=on}} skiing facility located over two mountains near the Hanover campus in [[Lyme Center, New Hampshire]],<ref name="Dartmouth Skiway"/> that serves as the winter practice grounds for the [[Dartmouth Ski Team]], which is a perennial contender for the NCAA Division I championship.

Dartmouth's close association and involvement in the development of the [[downhill skiing]] industry is featured in the 2010 book ''[[Passion for Skiing]]'' as well as the 2013 documentary based on the book ''[[Passion for Snow]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.skiinghistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/2013-Awards-Brochure-searchable.pdf |title=2013 IHSA Awards brochure |access-date=September 22, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130928225042/http://www.skiinghistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/2013-Awards-Brochure-searchable.pdf |archive-date=September 28, 2013  }}</ref>

=== Residential housing and student life facilities ===
Beginning in the fall term of 2016, Dartmouth placed all undergraduate students in one of six House communities, similar to [[residential college]]s, including Allen House, East Wheelock House, North Park House, School House, South House, and West House, alongside independent Living Learning Communities.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://now.dartmouth.edu/2015/11/college-unveils-six-house-communities-open-next-fall |title=College Unveils Six House Communities to Open Next Fall |publisher=Dartmouth College |date=November 2, 2015 |access-date=April 23, 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160420181017/http://now.dartmouth.edu/2015/11/college-unveils-six-house-communities-open-next-fall |archive-date=April 20, 2016  }}</ref> Dartmouth used to have nine residential communities located throughout campus, instead of ungrouped dormitories or [[residential college]]s.<ref name="orl"/> The dormitories varied in design from modern to traditional Georgian styles, and room arrangements range from singles to quads and apartment suites.<ref name="orl"/> Since 2006, the college has guaranteed housing for students during their freshman and sophomore years.<ref name="Assembly reworks UFC membership guidelines"/> More than 3,000 students elect to live in housing provided by college.<ref name="orl"/>

In November 2022, Dartmouth Hall was rededicated after a $42 million renovation. Fundraising for the project was led by over 1700 alumnae as part of the celebration of 50 years of coeducation at Dartmouth College.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-01-19 |title=Dartmouth Hall Renovation |url=https://campus-services.dartmouth.edu/projects/completed-projects/dartmouth-hall-renovation |access-date=2023-02-20 |website=Campus Services |language=en}}</ref>
