context_section_description: Bishop Harkins Hall - Named for Bishop Matthew Harkins, the man responsible for the school's founding, Harkins is the school's original property and signature building (an image of one of its stained glass windows is used as the college's logo).  Built in 1917 and annexed in 1929, the building houses the college's administrative offices, the Education department as well as classroom space on the third and fourth floors, a small chapel, the Blackfriars Theatre (the former main theater for the school, built in the school's original gymnatorium) and several other offices.  The building faces the main entrance at Cunningham Square.
  Saint Martin Hall - Designed by Thomas Tefft and built in 1850 as the George M. Bradley House, the building was purchased by the college in 1926.  It was expanded to include a large dorm to its rear, and the entire building was dedicated as Guzman Hall, named for Saint Dominic de Guzmán, founder of the Dominican Order.  It housed pre-ecclesiastical students for most of its life as a dorm.  In 1962, a new Guzman Hall was opened next to Dominic House, and the building was restored to its original configuration, making room for neighboring McDermott Hall.  It was renamed at that time for Saint Martin de Porres.  Until 1994 it was the home of the College President.  Currently it serves as the Office of Institutional Advancement.
  Slavin Center - The school's student union, which includes the school bookstore, McPhail's Entertainment Center, a large meeting hall (Class of '64 Hall), the studios of WDOM, 91.3FM, the school's radio station, the offices for the Board of Programmers, Board of Multicultural Student Affairs (BMSA), Friars Club, Veritas, the Cowl, Student Congress and other various student organizations.  It was named for the former college President, the Rev. Robert J. Slavin, O.P. '28, and is connected to Alumni Hall and the Concannon Center.
  Albertus Magnus Hall, Hickey Hall, and Sowa Hall - the science complex, located at the southwest corner of campus. Its three component buildings are:
  Albertus Magnus Hall was opened in 1948 and houses the main science classrooms;
  Hickey Hall was opened in 1962 and  houses smaller advanced laboratory space and is named for Rev. Edward J. Hickey, O.P., a former science professor;
  Sowa Hall was opened in 1989 to link the two buildings; it is named for its benefactor, Ferdinand B. Sowa '48, a local lawyer, Sowa mostly houses the science department offices.
  Moore Hall - The building was opened in 1947 as Antoninus Hall, and was home of the business department and several classrooms and labs.  In 1988, it was remodeled and expanded to include three large lecture halls and several classrooms, all for use by the Development of Western Civilization Program.  The remodeling was funded by the estate of Cornelius C. Moore, a Newport lawyer, and was named in his honor.  Upon the completion of the Ruane Center for the Humanities, the Development of Western Civilization Program was moved out of Moore Hall.
  Accinno Hall - The school's main computer science building opened in 1992 and was named for benefactor John Accinno '46.  It located on the west side of Huxley Avenue in a renovated former construction garage, originally part of the Good Shepherd property.
  The Feinstein Academic Center - Along with Saint Joseph's Hall, Saint Dominic Hall and what is now Accinno Hall, it is one of the buildings acquired from the Good Shepherd convent property in 1955.  Originally named Stephen Hall for the Rev. Terrence Stephen McDermott, O.P., the Dominican Provincial from 1930–55, it was used as dormitories until 1993, when it was renovated and expanded.  Reopened in the fall of 1994 and named for Alan Shawn Feinstein, the building now houses classrooms, offices and a small reception hall, and is located between Saint Joseph's and Aquinas Halls near the center of campus.
  Phillips Memorial Library - The school's primary library, it was opened in 1969, and has over 3,000,000 volumes.  The Providence College Archives and Special Collections department is located in the Lower Level. Th
