Loyola University Retreat & Ecology Campus

ABOUT US

The Loyola University Retreat and Ecology Campus (LUREC) is open year-round for overnight retreats, day meetings, team building, academic programs, and community events. Our customizable programs are tailored to meet the needs of many different groups:

• Corporate and association

• Ministry
• Youth and scout

GREEN PROMISE

LUREC’s fundamental guiding principle is conservation on our campus through reducing, reusing, and recycling. Loyola is committed to restoring and maintaining the biodiversity of our campus, and during your stay with us, we invite you to take part in our mission of sustainability, conservation, and restoration. As part of our green promise, we installed a geothermal system in our north wing so that guests can enjoy the ground’s gift of warmth in the winter and coolness in the summer.
