VISITORS GUIDE EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY 2021
Welcome to Eastern
Michigan University.
Students from 50 states and 83 countries call Eastern Michigan their home away
from home—and it’s easy to see why. EMU’s 880-acre campus features mature
trees, outdoor art, a tranquil lake, and 18 miles of walkways and jogging trails. Our 122
buildings are a mix of historic and newly renovated, and everything is easily accessible
by foot or on wheels. Take a look around. We think you’ll like what you see.

Campus Renovations

information technology and safety and security. Notable projects include:
