La Sierra's 150-acre campus is located in the La Sierra neighborhood of the city of Riverside. The school is a member of the American Public Gardens Association, which has designated the campus an arboretum.
The first buildings built on the campus were two-story separate male and female dormitories.
The university opened a $23 million science complex in the fall of 2006, which houses its biology, computer science, and mathematics departments.
