At the entrance of campus stands the Our Lady of Belen Chapel, a sacred space for schoolwide Masses, prayer, and sacraments—welcoming alumni back for weddings and baptisms. Surrounding the chapel are state-of-the-art facilities that support every dimension of student life.
The José Milton Foundation Main Building houses the Ramón Guiteras Memorial Library, the Carlos M. Barañano Technology Center, the Conde Media Center, the Sarria Family Dining Hall, counseling services, and academic classrooms.
Dedicated to artistic expression, the Ignatian Center for the Arts includes the Ophelia & Juan Js. Roca Theater, Olga & Carlos Saladrigas Art Gallery, rehearsal spaces, and instructional areas for fine arts education.
Scientific exploration comes alive in the Raúl and Nidia Rodríguez Science Pavilion, home to advanced labs in physics, biology, and chemistry, and the contemplative Fides et Ratio Patio.
Innovation thrives in the Roberto C. Goizueta Innovation Center, which features a multifunctional lobby, locker rooms, and an indoor court on the first floor, as well as a STEAM-focused makerspace, lab, and collaborative workspaces located on the second floor.
The Gian Zumpano Aquatic Center is home to the seven-time State Champion Swim Team and four-time State Champion Water Polo Team. The cutting-edge competition complex is an architectural, acoustic and interpretive feat. It boasts an Olympic pool and a learn-to-swim pool.
The Arroyo Quad serves as a tribute to the Jesuits who shaped Belen’s mission, offering a peaceful space for reflection and remembrance. Honored for their years of service to the school are the names of the Jesuit Fathers who have worked at Belen in Miami and have passed away.
The Sarria Family Dining Hall is equipped with high-definition screens, surround sound, and a commercial-grade kitchen that supports daily lunches and special events. Its visual centerpiece is a mural chronicling Belen’s journey from Cuba to Miami.
The Roberto Surís Athletic Center is a state-of-the-art facility that stands at the heart of our athletic program, serving every Belen student-athlete. From strength and cardio training to fully equipped locker rooms, this space is dedicated to the development of both body and mind—reflecting our Jesuit commitment to cura personalis, the care of the whole person.
Administrative offices are housed in the Shanley Family Administration Building, which also includes Cosculluela Hall and serves as home to Advancement, Admissions, Alumni, Business and more.
Finally, the Fr. Benito Viñes, SJ Observatory continues a 140-year-old tradition of astronomical education. Unique among U.S. high schools, it features a 16” telescope with a CCD camera for astrophotography, made possible by the Class of 1972.
