Our Facilities

Tufts University was founded in 1852 by members of the Universalist church. Since then, it has grown into a nonsectarian university of over 8,000 students, with a wide variety of graduate programs, including programs in engineering, law, diplomacy, nutrition, and medicine. Tufts combines the close-knit community characteristics of a teaching college with the multiple opportunities available at a research university.

The Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Development is located in its own building at 105 College Avenue on the University's Medford campus. The building has four wings to accommodate faculty, staff, and student offices, classrooms, the Evelyn G. Pitcher Curriculum Resource Laboratory, and the Eliot-Pearson Children's School. The Tufts Educational Day Care Center is located across campus at 165 Holland Street in the Tufts Administration Building (TAB).
