| - The grounds of the academy are arranged somewhat like a wagon wheel. The hub is the main administration building, a large three-story building that houses the offices of the administrative staff, the school's cafeteria, commons area, main bookstore, library, and other such features that need to be centrally-located. A large parking lot is located in front of the administration building, divided into sections for visitors, staff, and students. There are smaller parking facilities located here and there around the campus as well. On the grounds to the right of the main administration building is a small memorial garden with a monument dedicated to students and faculty who have passed away while attending or employed by the academy.

| - The grounds of the academy are arranged somewhat like a wagon wheel. The hub is the main administration building, a large three-story building that houses the offices of the administrative staff, the school's cafeteria, commons area, main bookstore, library, and other such features that need to be centrally-located. A large parking lot is located in front of the administration building, divided into sections for visitors, staff, and students. There are smaller parking facilities located here and there around the campus as well. On the grounds to the right of the main administration building is a small memorial garden with a monument dedicated to students and faculty who have passed away while attending or employed by the academy. The academic buildings radiate out from this central hub. The "spokes" of the wheel are walkways, some covered, some not, that lead to these academic buildings. There are two indoor hallways that stretch out to the left and right of the main hub. The hallway to the right leads to the main battle arena, the hallway to the left leads to the secondary arena. Spaced at intervals along these indoor hallways are walkways that cross perpendicular to the hallways and allow for easier passage from the northern to the southern halves of the campus. The school's more modern, physically-oriented classrooms are located at the edge of the "wheel", while the older, red-bricked academic buildings are closer to the main hub. The entire campus, when viewed from the sky, bears a slight resemblance to a pokeball. Although battle is the main focus of the academy there are a number of facilities devoted to other educational pursuits. The academy trains its students in all aspects of the battle arena, not just in the battles themselves. Education includes such things as management, promotion, broadcasting, health and medicine, and a variety of other pursuits. Although these programs aren't as popular as the battle classes, those students that choose to focus on the non-battle aspects of the academy are generally treated well by their fellow students, who realize that a champion needs a good team of well-trained specialists behind them. Located about a quarter to a half of a mile away from the campus are several dormitories to house those students from out of town. The dorms range from a few old-fashioned buildings that were left over from the liberal arts college days to more recently-built apartment-style buildings. The dorms are divided into buildings for males and females, there are no co-ed dorms. Although the old style dorms lack some of the "creature comforts" of the newer ones, they are regarded as something of a status symbol and are almost exclusively populated by senior and junior level students. These dorms are located on the other side of a small wood that surrounds the northern side of the campus and are connected to the main campus by a few well-lit walkways. While these dormitories are owned by the academy and subject to their rules and regulations, they are not considered a part of the campus proper.
