Jane P. Batten Student Center

The heart of campus life.

Set at the center of campus, the Jane P. Batten Student Center is where Batten University students live their lives outside the classroom. Recreation, student services, dining, campus ministries, counseling, a climbing wall, a competition pool, the University Store — if it matters to student life, it’s probably in this building.

The Batten Center is open to currently enrolled students, active and retired faculty and staff and their immediate families, and alumni. A valid Batten University ID is required for access.
