Facilities
Heritage. Tradition. Innovation. Welcome to Boston.
The word "state-of-the-art" gets thrown around a lot. But when you see our Boston campus, "state-of-the-art" sheds its cliche status and once again demonstrates its real meaning.
It's true that we're the oldest institution of higher education in Boston. And while we are fully immersed in the tradition of our craft, we are constantly improving our resources. All of our facilities--from the health sciences library to the professional-quality laboratories to the information technology infrastructure--are modern, innovative, and geared to providing our students with what they need to succeed.
Ronald A. Matricaria Academic and Student Center
To accommodate the growing number of students, as well as growth in program offerings, MCPHS added the 93,000 square foot Ronald A. Matricaria Academic and Student Center on the Longwood campus in 2004.
George Robert White Building
Constructed through the generosity of Boston philanthropist George Robert White, the building bearing his name houses administrative and faculty offices, classrooms, laboratories, lecture halls, White Hall, and the Forsyth Dental Hygiene Clinic.
Iorio Center
An eight-story mixed-use facility of approximately 230,000 square feet completed in 1996, this structure offers classrooms, conference rooms, student lounge, faculty offices, a residence hall, coffee shop, and underground parking for faculty and staff. The Rombult Atrium adjoining the White Building is used for group study and social events.

Crossroads Cafe and Student Lounge
The Crossroads Cafe and Student Lounge is a hub of student life on the MCPHS-Boston campus. Students use the lounge as a place to meet, study, and relax in a welcoming, supportive environment. At the Crossroads Cafe, students can grab a quick cup of coffee on their way to class or pick up a light lunch or an afternoon snack.
Dining Facilities
The College's main dining facility for the Boston campus is located a short walk across Palace Road and is situated above the MCPHS bookstore. The dining hall is shared with Massachusetts College of Art and Design and Wentworth Institute of Technology, and is housed in the MassArt Kennedy Building.
Bookstore
Located across the street from the main campus, the College bookstore serves both MCPHS and neighboring Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Newly renovated and expanded in 2009, the bookstore stocks MCPHS textbooks, reference books, insignia clothing and other college-related items.
