Campus Service
Facilities
Antioch University has several facilities in New England. Most administrative offices, library, academic and student support services, GIS Lab, Herbarium, and classroom space can be on the main campus at 40 Avon Street.
Additional classroom space is also available at the Antioch Annex at 225 West Street, a five-minute walk from the Avon Street facility. The large classrooms and meeting spaces are ideal for residencies and workshops.
Glover’s Ledge is located 30 minutes north of Keene in Langdon, NH, and is used for several purposes, including occasional classes and workshops. In June 2014, after attending a forest management course at AUNE, a local resident donated 76 acres of forest to the university. In 2018, an additional 4 acres and a building were added on as part of the property.
The Avon Street building is generally open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM for administrative offices and classes, or will close one-half hour after the end of the last scheduled class.
When classes are scheduled on the weekends, the building hosting classes (Avon St and/or the West St annex) will be open using an Access Card one-half hour before, and after the end of the last class.
Classroom scheduling has priority for all Antioch University New England (AUNE) locations. Classes and residencies are scheduled by the academic departments on a regular basis. If you would like to request a room for a non-class activity, please fill out a Room Request. Requests that are not part of a class activity or an educational event sponsored by an academic program may incur a rental fee. To confirm if space is available, email [email protected].
For assistance with room setup, please complete the Room Setup Form.
If you notice something that needs repair or attention, please submit a Work Request here. This list is checked several times daily and assists the custodians and building owners to keep abreast of needed repairs. It is important to know about all safety concerns, no matter how minor.
All custodians have keys to the campus buildings and one will carry the campus cell phone when they are on campus working.

Since Antioch is a private university, access to our Campus is limited to current and prospective students, employees, and their guests. A community member should report anyone in the building they suspect is not a member of the educational community to the Shift Custodian (603) 258-0744.
Antioch employees who are involved with security matters are authorized to take the actions required to protect Antioch community members from immediate danger. They are not legal law enforcement officers so they will immediately call the Keene Police Department when there is a danger to people or the facilities. It is Antioch’s policy to respond quickly to any threats to the safety of students, employees, or Antioch property. At off-campus sites, criminal activity should be reported to the Site Director or faculty member present, who will in turn notify the appropriate local authority.
The Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990, Title II of Public Law 101-542 requires an institution to begin to collect certain information about crimes on campus. It also requires that the institution prepare, publish and distribute this information to all current students, employees, and any applicants for enrollment or employment upon request. The spirit of this legislation is to make our campus a safer place through awareness, clear channels of communication, and encouraging each of us to take reasonable precautions.

Please be advised that updates regarding campus closures, delays, and early releases will be made using several resources we have available. These include posts to our Website, announcements via the WMUR-TV News9 Storm Update System and the Monadnock Radio Group radio stations (WKNE 103.7 FM; WINQ 98.7 FM; WKBK 1290 AM; 99.1 FN; KOOL 103.1 FM), as well as our new text/email AU Emergency Notification System. Please take a moment to review your contact information in myAntioch, in the left-hand menu under User Options and User Profile, to ensure that we have your correct cell number for text notifications.
When a winter storm is anticipated, the process starts with the Campus CEO checking to see if the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Advisory or Watch. If an advisory has been issued, the next step is to wait and see if a Winter Storm Warning is broadcast. A Winter Storm Warning is defined as hazardous winter weather conditions that pose a threat to life and/or property and include a combination of two or more of the following events: snow, freezing rain or freezing drizzle, sleet, and blowing snow. When the National Weather Service Forecast Office issues a Winter Storm Warning, the CEO, director of events & campus services, and director of administrative operations review the information regarding the winter storm warning, including local and regional forecasts, to decide the best path forward.
Decisions will be made as soon as possible. It is important to note that we make our weather-related decisions based on the conditions expected in the Keene area. If you are one of the many faculty, staff or students who reside outside our immediate area, please use your best judgment and discretion in determining whether conditions are safe enough to travel to campus from your location.
Please be aware that all faculty are expected to honor the campus decisions made in regards to closures, delays and early releases. It is not appropriate, and places the university at legal risk, to ask students to come to campus and hold classes on days or times the campus will be closed. In the event that issues arise related to contact time/classes with your students over the course of the semester, please consider scheduling Zoom meetings for missed class time when the campus closes. Of course, it would be best to discuss and plan this with your students before weather-related events occur. Please prepare a contingency teaching/learning/class plan (if you have not already done so) now for our winter season.
