The Aquinas Institute of Rochester

<h2 id="buildings-on-campus">Buildings on campus</h2>
The main school building is listed on the <a href="/facts/National_Register_of_Historic_Places/leUNvfW6">National Register of Historic Places</a>.
The Wegman – Napier Building, an extension of the main school building, houses science labs for biology and chemistry classes, as well as a renovated gym. Aquinas' biology labs were refurbished in 2007, and a 30,000 sq ft (2,800 m2) field house was built in 2008.
Aquinas constructed an on-campus stadium in 2005, sponsored by and named the <a href="/facts/Wegmans/r37S84M9">Wegmans</a> Sports Complex. The new stadium was built twenty years after its previous football stadium <a href="/facts/Holleder_Memorial_Stadium/MVH1LUcw">Holleder Memorial Stadium</a> was demolished in 1985.
