The college has more than 50 academic, athletic, and residential buildings, which are mostly stone and reflect Quaker and colonial design principles. The most recent additions are the Marian E. Koshland Integrated Natural Science Center and the Douglas B. Gardner '83 Integrated Athletic Center (colloquially referred to as the GIAC). Two dorms, by [[Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects]], began housing freshman and upperclassman in the fall of 2012.

Haverford's Lutnick Library (formerly known as Magill Library) boasts more than a half million of its own volumes and has access to nearly two million more through its unusual Tripod computerized catalog system, which integrates its library with those of neighboring Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore Colleges. In addition to Lutnick's main resources, the college maintains three smaller music, science, and astronomy libraries and a number of special collections including the Quaker and Special Collections sections that include numerous rare books and other treasures such as the C.C. Morris (Class of 1904) Cricket Library.<ref name='MorrisLib'>{{cite web |url=http://www.haverford.edu/library/cricket/site_update/famous_Lester.htm |title=The C. C.

===Haverford College Arboretum===
Comprising the entire campus, the [[Haverford College Arboretum]] is the oldest collegiate arboretum in the United States.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.haverford.edu/facilities/resources.php#arboretum|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110307084939/http://www.haverford.edu/facilities/resources.php#arboretum|url-status=dead|title=Haverford College: Facilities Management|archivedate=March 7, 2011|website=www.haverford.edu}}</ref> In 1834, a year after the college's founding, the English landscape gardener William Carvill was hired to design the plan for the campus. Carvill developed a design to replace the tilled fields, woodlots and pastures, using trees to frame and complement open spaces. He bordered the lanes with alleés of trees and planted groups of trees in odd numbers. Carvill also constructed grape arbors and a serpentine walk, reflecting the English landscape tradition of Sir [[Humphry Repton|Humphrey Repton]]. Carvill's mark is still evident today in the pastoral landscape which includes several original trees including a Swamp white oak, Quercus bicolor, and Bur oak, Quercus macrocarpa, on Founders Green.

In 1901, a group of students and alumni formed the Campus Club to help preserve the campus landscape after discovering Carvill's original plan.  Their work eventually led to the founding of the Haverford College Campus Arboretum Association (now the Haverford College Arboretum Association) in 1974, which continues to perpetuate Carvill's original design. To date, the arboretum's {{convert|216|acre|km2}} contain a nature trail distancing 2.2 miles, a [[pinetum]] with 300 different conifers, a duck pond, historic trees of diverse species, sculpture, as well as flower and Asian gardens.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.haverford.edu/Arboretum/collections.php|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101008174715/http://www.haverford.edu/Arboretum/collections.php|url-status=dead|title=Haverford College: Arboretum|archivedate=October 8, 2010|website=www.haverford.edu}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Haverford College Nature Trail |url=https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/pennsylvania/haverford-college-nature-trail |access-date=2023-06-13 |website=AllTrails.com}}</ref>

===Housing===
Roughly 99% of the student body resides on campus, where housing options include apartments, themed houses and traditional dormitories. The minute fraction who choose to seek other accommodations do so nearby in neighboring townships. Approximately 60% of faculty also reside on campus.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.haverford.edu/admission/why_haverford/ |title=Why Haverford &#124; Haverford College |publisher=Haverford.edu |date=2012-02-19 |access-date=2015-11-05}}</ref>

Themed housing options include [[Roslin House|La Casa Hispanica]], which "supports the endeavors of students actively engaged in organizing programs concerned with the cultures and civilizations of the Spanish-speaking world", the Ira de A. Reid House, which seeks students active in the Black Students' League or members of the African Diaspora interested in the culture and politics of Africans, Cadbury house, which provides a substance-free and quiet living environment, and Yarnall, which has no permanent theme. Various housing and room arrangements exist, including suites of singles, doubles, and triples.
