The golf team practices at local courses, the sailing team practices at the Rhode Island Yacht Club and the Ultimate Disc team rotates their practice locations.

Other buildings and facilities

Additionally, there is a Power Plant located on upper campus (next to the Peterson Recreation Center), a Physical Plant located on the Lower Campus (in the far northeastern corner, behind Hunt-Cavanaugh Hall and the Ceramics Building), and the Security Office, located next to the Huxley Gate. Prior to the completion of the Concannon Center and the Friar Field Hockey & Lacrosse Complex and its corresponding parking lot redesign, a small white house, known as the Thomas House, was located next to the cemetery, near where the intersection of Annie Street and Wardlaw Avenue would have been. This house was long used as the host building for the commencement speaker.

Another house, the Antoninus House, is located across Eaton Street from Cunningham Hall. It is owned by the college and used for alumni events and other purposes.
