The following is a list of the buildings on the campus of Providence College located in Providence, Rhode Island. ==Academic and administrative buildings== *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.

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.
