Johnson House is a campus building of the University of Vermont (UVM), which is located at 617 Main Street, on the southwestern corner of the intersection of University Heights in Burlington, Vermont. It was built in 1806 as part of a 22-acre farm by Moses Catlin on the parcel where Morrill Hall currently stands. Due to the forthcoming construction of Morrill Hall, the house was moved in 1906 to 590 Main Street (the present location of the Dudley Davis Center). The house was again moved on 9 July 2005 across the street to its current location at 617 Main Street, on the southwest side of the intersection of University Heights.Catlin sold the house and property to John Johnson (Vermont's third surveyor-general) in 1809. Johnson was an accomplished architect and engineer who designed and oversaw the construction of the original college building (the 1802 predecessor to the present day "Old Mill" building), its replacement (after it had burned down in 1824), as well as Grasse Mount in 1804, and Pomeroy Hall in 1828.The John Johnson House has housed the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics since 2002.

The Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources (RSENR) (established in 2003) is the University of Vermont's natural resources college. The University of Vermont recognized the importance of providing educational opportunities in this field of study, initiating forestry courses in 1888. The first school, originally called The School of Natural Resources was established in 1973. The main home of the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, the George D. Aiken Center opened in 1982. The building's name honors Vermont's distinguished late senator and governor. RSENR is home to a natural resources and field study based curriculum, has its own core courses and building. There are several majors including environmental sciences, environmental studies, forestry, natural resources, recreation management and wildlife biology.The Rubenstein School campus includes members of the UVM Environmental Program, the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics, the Rubenstein Ecosystem Science Laboratory, and the US Forest Service Northern Research Station.In 2012, the Aiken building housing the school was completely reconstructed as a green renovated facility and named the Aiken Center with a U.S. Green Building Council LEED certification of platinum, and has the highest certification score in the entire state of Vermont. One of the other facilities belonging to the school is the Rubenstein Ecosystem Research Lab at the Burlington waterfront.

Patrick Gym
Patrick Gym

The Roy L. Patrick Gymnasium is a 3,228 seat (3,266 for men's and women's basketball) multi-purpose arena in Burlington, Vermont. It was built in 1963 to replace the Old Gymnasium, a then-60-year-old facility now known as the Royall Tyler Theater. It is used mainly as the home arena of the Vermont Catamounts men's and women's basketball teams. It has been the site of the 2004, 2005, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2022 America East men's basketball tournament championship games, as the higher seed in the final hosts the game. The championship games were all televised on ESPN or ESPN2. Vermont has consistently been among the America East leaders in home attendance and in 2004–05, it became the only America East men's basketball program to sell out every game for an entire season.Patrick Gym is also a concert venue, seating up to 4,000. It can also accommodate conventions and trade shows; there are 22,251 square feet (2,067.2 m2) of arena floor space, with an additional 31,218 square feet (2,900.2 m2) at the indoor track and 36,189 square feet (3,362.1 m2) at the indoor tennis courts, both of which are adjacent to Patrick Gymnasium. The current bleachers at Patrick Gym were installed in 1982, and new lighting and the current floor were installed in 1990. Currently the university has plans to replace the over 50 year old Patrick Gym with a new event center next to Gutterson Fieldhouse. The new arena will have a capacity of 3,200 with a price tag of $80 million. It was announced in December 2018 that the new arena will be named the Tarrant Event Center, in honor of Rich and Deb Tarrant who donated $15 million to the project. The arena was originally intended to be ready for the 2020–21 school year, but construction delays and financial uncertainties due to the COVID-19 pandemic have pushed back the most likely date for completion of the new arena to 2022–23. Once the basketball programs move to the Tarrant Center, Patrick Gym will be converted into a campus recreation facility.
