Adams State University's campus is located in the heart of the San Luis Valley. All of the university's academic and residential buildings are located on its contiguous {{convert|90|acre|adj=on}} campus.

===Academic buildings===
The main administration building and oldest building on campus is Richardson Hall, named after the school's first president, Ira Richardson. The home of the math and science curriculum, Porter Hall, is named for alumnus [[William A. Porter]], the creator of [[E-Trade]] and a major benefactor of the school. McDaniel Hall, named for donor and emeritus faculty member John McDaniel, is the main venue for English, psychology, history, sociology, and teacher education classes.

Campus edifices for the performing arts include the Adams State University Theater (erected in 2001), the Music Building (which underwent major renovations in 2011) and the Leon Memorial Concert Hall.

===Athletic facilities===
There are two gyms and an indoor pool. The Rex Activity Center for student recreation includes weights, exercise bikes, rock climbing wall, and racquet ball courts. Plachy Hall includes the gym and indoor pool and field house as part of the Athletics Department.

The Rex Stadium has undergone major renovation including the addition of the Residence at the Rex. The new complex includes suites for game viewing.  The new residence hall provides one of the most impressive views, with a view of [[Mount Blanca]] (one of the [[14ers of Colorado]]) to the east and overlooking the track and football field to the west.  A new $750,000 video-tron screen displays action and replays at one end of the field.

===Residences===
There are currently six on-campus apartment complexes (Houtchens, McCurry, Moffat, Petteys, Savage and Residence at the Rex) that include private bedrooms for two to three students, a kitchen/living room and private bath, in addition to three traditional dormitory halls (Conour, Coronado and Girault).  Most entering freshmen are housed in Coronado and Girault Halls.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.locatecolleges.com/co/alamosa/adams-state-college |title=Adams State University at Locate Colleges |access-date=2013-04-01 |archive-date=2014-09-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140903084757/http://www.locatecolleges.com/co/alamosa/adams-state-college |url-status=dead }}</ref> The main cafeteria, La Mesa Dining Hall, in the Student Union Building is newly renovated.
