Campus
Located on a 332-acre land grant in the town of Paradise, the main UNLV campus borders Maryland Parkway, the site of private-public development Midtown UNLV. Development commenced in 2002, with the purpose of expanding the university to meet the demands of a major school in the Las Vegas metro area, as well as improving the university's image by offering better amenities for students and businesses alike.
Goals are several:
- Reduction of vacant spaces
- Lower business turnover
- New expansion space for the university
Most funding for the project comes from the state as well as private donations.
Non-Student Campus Accommodations
Conference housing is available for groups up to 1,200 during the traditional Conference Housing Season, which runs mid-May through July. Intern housing is also offered mid-May through mid-August, and is available to those who have verifiable employment with local Las Vegas businesses or organizations.
Singapore Campus
UNLV's first international campus, located in Singapore, debuted in 2006. Housed on the tenth and eleventh floors of the National Library of Singapore, the campus offers undergraduate programs in Hotel Administration and Hospitality Management, with upper-division courses including Hotel Administration, Food and Beverage Management and Hotel Law. An executive master's degree in hospitality is also available.
Student Housing
UNLV contracts with AVS Housing Group to manage its on-campus student housing. There are four on-campus residence halls: Dayton Complex, Tonopah Complex, South Residential Complex and Upper Class Complex. Featured are wireless internet, 24-hour attended front desks, premium cable television, special interest floors and in-building laundry facilities.
Library System
The main UNLV campus features several libraries; the largest of these is the 301,000-square-foot Lied Library located in the center of campus. Opened in 2001, the $58 million facility is named for real estate entrepreneur Ernst W. Lied.
Other individual libraries are more closely related to their particular colleges. These include:
- The Architecture Studies Library
- The Curriculum Materials Library
- The Music Library
- The Wiener-Rogers Law Library
Financial Aid and Scholarships
UNLV offers scholarships, grants, work-study programs, loans and veteran's educational benefits to help students defray the cost of attendance. All applicants must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
Athletics
There are 17 different sports on the UNLV campus. The men's basketball team, for which the university is most well known, is known as the Runnin' Rebels, while its men's baseball team is known as the Hustlin' Rebels. The school colors are scarlet and gray, which date back to the late 1950s when UNLV adopted a wolf wearing a Confederate uniform as its mascot; scarlet and gray were traditional Confederate colors. Today's mascot is known as Hey Reb, who makes frequent appearances on national television.
The Rebels are a founding member of the Mountain West Conference and play in the NCAA's Division I, with the exception of the UNLV men's soccer team; they compete in the Mountain Pacific Sports Foundation.
The men's football team plays the Nevada Wolf Pack in a football game known as the Battle for Nevada; the trophy for that game is known as the Fremont Cannon. It is valued at more than $10,000 and is considered one of the loudest and most ostentatious symbols of rivalry in the college football world.
