A Campus for Competition and Conservation
In 2003, Loyola Academy expanded its footprint with the opening of the Theodore G. Munz, SJ, Campus in Glenview. Named in honor of Loyola's seventh president, the 60-acre campus provided much-needed space for the Academy's growing athletic programs while creating new opportunities for learning beyond the traditional classroom. Located just minutes from the Wilmette campus, Munz quickly became an integral part of the Loyola experience.
The campus serves as the home for numerous Rambler athletic programs, including soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, baseball, softball, and cross country. With multiple competition and practice fields, the campus provides student-athletes with space to develop their skills while learning the values that have long defined Loyola athletics: discipline, teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship. The Munz Campus continues to play a vital role in supporting the Academy's commitment to the formation of the whole person.
Beyond athletics, Munz serves as a living laboratory for environmental science and ecological stewardship. The campus includes restored wetlands, native prairie habitats, and a stretch of the North Branch of the Chicago River. Through partnerships with environmental organizations and hands-on learning experiences, students engage in water quality monitoring, habitat restoration, biodiversity studies, and conservation projects. Today, hundreds of Ramblers participate in environmental and scientific activities at Munz each year, embodying the Jesuit call to care for creation while gaining a deeper understanding of the natural world.
