Roanoke's main campus is relatively self-contained with most academic buildings and residence halls built around three [[Quadrangle (architecture)|quadrangles]]: the John R.

The campus is lined with brick sidewalks and has been recognized for its landscaping and views of the surrounding mountains.

===Architecture===

The campus architecture is a blend of traditional collegiate and modern styles. The Administration Building, constructed in 1848 with bricks made on-site, and six other buildings, Miller Hall, Trout Hall, Bittle Hall, Monterey House, West Hall, and the Old [[Salem, Virginia|Salem]] Post Office are listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]].<ref name="roanoke2">{{cite web |url=http://roanoke.edu/x9931.xml?cat= |title=Campus Buildings Have Historic Significance – Roanoke College – Salem, Virginia |publisher=Roanoke.edu |access-date=October 14, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091212150351/http://roanoke.edu/x9931.xml?cat= |archive-date=December 12, 2009 |df=mdy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/VA/Salem/state.html|title=National Register of Historical Places - VIRGINIA (VA), Salem County|work=nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com|access-date=October 5, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080920144205/http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/VA/Salem/state.html|archive-date=September 20, 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://hcap.artstor.org/cgi-bin/library?a=d&d=p1403 |title=The Council of Independent Colleges: Historic Campus Architecture Project |publisher=Hcap.artstor.org |access-date=October 14, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110725192706/http://hcap.artstor.org/cgi-bin/library?a=d&d=p1403 |archive-date=July 25, 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/VA/Roanoke/state.html|title=National Register of Historical Places - VIRGINIA (VA), Roanoke County|work=nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com|access-date=October 5, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080920143024/http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/VA/Roanoke/state.html|archive-date=September 20, 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Residence halls===

Approximately 70% of the student body resides on campus.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://puka.cs.waikato.ac.nz/cgi-bin/cic/library?a=d&d=p1408|title=The Council of Independent Colleges: Historic Campus Architecture Project|work=waikato.ac.nz|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724191847/http://puka.cs.waikato.ac.nz/cgi-bin/cic/library?a=d&d=p1408|archive-date=July 24, 2011|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

===President's House===

The President's House is in a residential district approximately one-half-mile north of the Roanoke campus on North Market Street. The colonial revival mansion, one of the largest private homes in the area, was constructed in the late 1930s. It was purchased in the mid-1950s by [[John P. Fishwick]], president of the [[Norfolk and Western Railway]] and a Roanoke & [[Harvard Law School]] alumnus, and was acquired by the college in 1968.

In April 2011, the President's House and its garden were opened to the public during Virginia's [[Historic Garden Week]]. Selection of sites to participate is very competitive; only five [[Roanoke Valley]] residences were featured in 2011.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://roanoke.edu/News_and_Events/Campus_News/Presidents_House_on_2011_Home_Tour.htm|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110814070855/http://roanoke.edu/News_and_Events/Campus_News/Presidents_House_on_2011_Home_Tour.htm|url-status=dead|title=President's House featured on the Roanoke Valley Home and Garden Tour - Roanoke College - Salem, Virginia|archivedate=August 14, 2011}}</ref>

===Elizabeth Campus===

Additional college facilities, mostly residence halls and athletic fields, are located on the site of [[Elizabeth College, Virginia|Elizabeth College]], a Lutheran women's college that closed in 1922. The area, approximately two miles east of the main campus, is referred to as Elizabeth Campus. Houses for [[Kappa Alpha Order]], [[Pi Kappa Alpha]], [[Pi Lambda Phi]] and [[Sigma Chi]] are on Elizabeth Campus along with Elizabeth Hall, a large residence hall with apartments for non-freshman students.

===College Avenue – Main Street===
[[Image:OldSalemPostOffice.jpg|thumb|The Old [[Salem, Virginia|Salem]] Post Office Building, one of seven college buildings listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]]]]

Roanoke acquired three office buildings on College Avenue across from West Hall in 2005–06. The buildings have been renovated to provide classroom and office space for various college departments.<ref name="http://roanoke.edu/x19936.xml">{{Cite web|url=http://roanoke.edu/x19936.xml|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100528033339/http://roanoke.edu/x19936.xml|url-status=dead|title=Construction Highlights the Changing Face of Campus – Roanoke College – Salem, Virginia|archivedate=May 28, 2010}}</ref> With the acquisitions, the Roanoke campus occupies both sides of College Avenue from Main Street north to the traditional campus entrance.

In 2013, Roanoke purchased two Main Street buildings: the Bank Building, located on the corner of College Avenue and Main Street across from West Hall, and the Old Salem Post Office, located on the corner of Main and Market Streets.<ref name="ReferenceD"/> Roanoke had leased the bank building for several years preceding the purchase and will continue to use it for academic purposes. The post office building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is the seventh building on the Roanoke campus listed on the national register; it will be renovated for academic use.

===Recent construction===

Roanoke opened a new 200-bed residence hall in 2012; the building, the college's second [[LEED]]-certified building, completes the third quadrangle along with Kerr Stadium and Caldwell, Beamer, and Ritter Halls. The college previously completed an eight-court competition tennis complex on the Elizabeth Campus and a large parking lot on the main campus; the projects replaced existing facilities and made land available for the new residence hall.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/240145|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20120913193848/http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/240145|url-status=dead|title=Roanoke College airs plan for land – Roanoke.com|archivedate=September 13, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.roanoke.com/editorials/wb/248894|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20120907232038/http://www.roanoke.com/editorials/wb/248894|url-status=dead|title=Roanoke College's proposed parking lot – Roanoke.com|archivedate=September 7, 2012}}</ref> In addition, McClanahan Hall on the Elizabeth Campus reopened in 2012 as the Sigma Chi house; the Sigma Chi house on the main campus was razed and is now green space.

Roanoke's most recent major project opened in 2016; the [[Cregger Center|Morris M. Cregger Center]] is a multi-purpose athletic and recreation center with a 2,500 seat performance arena (basketball and volleyball), a 200-meter indoor track and field facility, athletic department and faculty offices, classrooms, fitness facilities, and a sports medicine clinic.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.roanoke.edu/student_life/cregger_and_colket_centers |title=Cregger & Colket Centers &#124; Roanoke College |access-date=March 29, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180330080133/https://www.roanoke.edu/student_life/cregger_and_colket_centers |archive-date=March 30, 2018 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The center is on the north side of campus; Bowman Hall, a large residence hall that opened in 1965, was razed to make land available. Kerr Stadium was incorporated as a part of the western facade so the two facilities form a unified complex; the center overlooks the stadium.

Roanoke, in anticipation of future growth, has purchased a significant number of private homes on Market Street adjacent to campus, which will provide land for expansion.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/256353 |date=February 1, 2013 |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20130201090400/http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/256353|url-status=dead|title=Roanoke College adds homes to its holdings |work=[[Roanoke.com]] |archivedate=February 1, 2013}}</ref>
