Sierra Nevada College’s Lake Campus has six buildings — two residence halls, a dining hall, a library, an administrative center for student services, and the Tahoe Center for the Environmental Sciences, a world-class center for research and education designed to support programs that help protect the quality and future of environmentally-threatened lakes and watersheds.

The Prim Library opened in August 2004. It holds more than 45,000 books, documents, and other items from the former MacLean Library with additional new resource materials.
Faculty offices and classrooms have direct Ethernet or wireless access to the campus network. The residence halls also have direct Ethernet or wireless access to the network with additional ports located in the lounges and study areas. The campus network provides accounts, email services, and Internet access. The College has high-speed Internet access (over T1 lines). Students are expected to bring their own computer and laptop.
The Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences
The Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences, a collaborative project with UC Davis, the Desert Research Institute, The RAND Corporation, and Carnegie Mellon University, broke ground in May 2005 and opened in October 2006.
