===Housing and student life facilities===
There are ten student dormitories on campus: Anderson Hall, Rackham Court, Howard House, Sylvester House, Buck House, Brooks House, Ferguson House, Joe McNabb, Lowrey House, and Clara McNabb. The first six mentioned were designed by former [[University of California, Berkeley]] professor and [[AIA Gold Medal]] winner [[Bernard Maybeck]] in 1935, as was the campus' chapel.<ref name="mccoy">{{cite book |last=McCoy |first=Esther |title=Five California Architects |publisher=Reinhold Publishing Corporation |year=1960 |location=New York |asin=B000I3Z52W|author-link=Esther McCoy}}</ref> Maybeck attempted to use different architectural styles and building techniques for each of these dormitories and for the chapel. In an effort to ensure success with his designs and materials, he experimented with them through the creation of a small building known affectionately by Principians as the "Mistake House."<ref>{{Cite web |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination |url=https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/NHLS/93001605_text |access-date=11 November 2022 |website=National Park Service}}</ref> In celebration of the 2018 Illinois Bicentennial, the Principia College Campus was selected as one of the Illinois 200 Great Places <ref>{{cite news |last=Waldinger |first=Mike |date=January 30, 2018 |title=The proud history of architecture in Illinois |newspaper=Springfield Business Journal |url=https://springfieldbusinessjournal.com/2018/01/the-proud-history-of-architecture-in-illinois/|access-date=30 January 2018}}</ref> by the [[American Institute of Architects]] Illinois component (AIA Illinois).
