The university’s main campus is bordered to the south by lake Ontario and Kingston General hospital, city parks to the east, and by residential neighbourhoods, known as the University district, Kingston in all other directions. The campus grew to its present size of 40 ha (99 acres) through gradual acquisitions of adjacent private lands, and remains the university’s largest landholding.

The buildings at Queen’s vary in age from Summerhill, which opened in 1839, to Mitchell Hall, which opened in 2018. Grant Hall, completed in 1905, is considered the university’s most recognizable landmark. It is named after Reverend George Munro Grant, who served as Queen’s seventh principal. The building is used to host concerts, lectures, meetings, exams, and convocations. Two buildings owned and managed by the university have been listed as national historical sites of Canada. The Kingston General Hospital is the oldest operating public hospital in Canada. The Roselawn House, which is east of the west campus, is the core component of the university’s Donald Gordon Centre.
