Whether you're heading out for lunch or on your way to a meeting take some time to enjoy our campus. The LU campus map provides a fast and convenient way to search for—and navigate to or from—any of the hundreds of offices, departments, facilities and venues located on the university's three contiguous campuses.
You can also access the LU campus map via the Lehigh University app. This app will also connect you to Lehigh social media, news, events, a staff/building directory and emergency information. The Lehigh University app is available through the Google Play or iOS App store.
Stuck inside but still want to explore? You can still take a virtual tour of the campus. If you scroll down slightly on the main home page you can Begin the Campus Tour.
Another virtual tour option is to take the Lehigh Augmented Reality (AR) Tour for New Employees. Watch Asa Packer, our founder, come to life as he introduces himself and what to expect on the tour. You will receive an overview of campus, on and off campus dining options, professional development information and a drone tour. The AR Tour is specifically best viewed on a mobile device and requires the free app Blippar (instructions included in the tour).

At Lehigh, we take the health, safety and well-being of our students, faculty and staff very seriously. Every individual on our campus has a shared responsibility for contributing to a culture of respect, and acts of hostility or harassment based on age, color, disability, gender identity or expression, genetic information, marital or familial status, national or ethnic origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status are not acceptable. They are fundamentally inconsistent with the values of this University.
All current and newly hired staff and faculty are required to complete two online training programs each year. One training program focuses on harassment and the other focuses on working with minors. These programs can help each of us understand these complex issues in a more substantive way.
It is our expectation that you will complete these 30- to 45-minute online training courses within 30 days of employment.
Once your Lehigh email address is set up, please follow the links below to complete the required courses. You'll need to use your Lehigh credentials to access these modules:
