is the new library designed to enhance the technology of a 21st Century university—combining the best of books and computers in a variety of beautiful and functional research spaces. The newest classroom building houses the Crowell School of Busi- ness and includes twelve new classrooms with both wireless and hard-wired computer networking. Six of the classrooms feature tiered seating designed to support graduate and upper division courses. The building also houses the faculty and administrative offices of the Crowell School of Business. Athletic and recreational facilities include a gymnasium-swimming complex with a short- course Olympic pool; six lighted tennis courts, softball and base- ball diamonds; lighted outdoor courts for basketball and sand volleyball; an archery range; a well-equipped fitness center; and a natural turf soccer practice field. The most recent addition in 2004 was a synthetic turf soccer field with a three-lane, all-weather jogging track around it. The field is lit for night play. At the same time, Chase Gymnasium was expanded to accommodate 2,300 for basketball and 3,200 for general gatherings. In addition to more than 15 acres of recreational facilities on campus, there are off-campus facilities in the 105-acre La Mirada Regional Park, just across La Mirada Boulevard from the Biola campus. To meet the growth of the past ten years, Biola has purchased several nearby buildings outside of the main campus. The Biola Professional Building is located less than half a mile from the northern edge of the main campus. The Biola Counseling Center is housed there as are the administrative offices of the BOLD pro- gram and other programs that serve the non-traditional students and the local community. To the southwest of the campus, less than a mile away, are six apartment complexes owned and operated by Biola. These in- clude a mixture of undergraduate, graduate and married-student housing. Biola Educational Centers Biola offers courses for many programs at various extension sites including:

The Library The Library serves Biola University as the central information resource facility, supporting all undergraduate and graduate programs with extensive resources, regardless of format or loca- tion, and a wide variety of services. Opened the fall of 2001, our state of the art, 98,000 square foot, tri-level Library, located on the campus quad, integrates traditional print, modern online elec- tronic, multimedia and audio-visual resources. In an environment that respects the privacy of the individual scholar and facilitates dynamic, interactive, collaborative learning groups, our flexible Library will serve the University for many decades. In addition to a two-story, quiet current periodical reading room with mezzanine, the Library provides 24 group study rooms. The technology-rich instruction room serves 48 students in a class setting at 24 com- puter work stations, which are available for individual students when not used for group instruction. Our local area network in the Information Commons allows up to 32 simultaneous users. Further, the Media Center provides 15 dedicated multimedia viewing and listening stations. The building provides space for over 900 individual study stations at carrels, tables and casual lounge reading seats equipped with data and power connections for laptop computer use. The upper-level study terrace and the middle-level Giumarra Court offer more than 100 outdoor study spaces with wireless network connectivity. The 12-seat coffee and food court provides an informal setting for study, fellowship and nutrition breaks. The signature rooftop beacon symbolizes Biola’s focus of bringing the Light, so that the Light may shine through enlightened servant leaders to the glory of God. In addition to a growing collection of more than 297,000 print volumes, the library currently subscribes to more than 1,100 print periodical titles, with several journal back files dating from the 19th century. Further, thousands of additional periodical titles are available full-text online to anyone with authorized Internet access from anywhere, anytime. The diverse collection reflects Biola’s enthusiasm and scholarly commitment to the integration of faith and learning in all academic disciplines, Bible history and translation, the historical roots of fundamentalism and evangelical Christianity, and worldwide Christian service.
