Overlooking the Marikina Valley, the main campus is located in Loyola Heights, along Katipunan Avenue, and is adjacent to Miriam College.
The Grade School, High School, and Loyola Schools are located in the Ateneo's Loyola Heights campus. Beside the Grade School is the Henry Lee Irwin, S.J. Theater, built in 1996 to house the school's formal events and productions. Complimenting the old buildings of the Loyola Schools are the Science Education Complex, as well as the PLDT Convergent Technologies Center-John Gokongwei School of Management Complex.
Within this campus is the Rizal Library, the main university library. The library houses one of the largest collections in the Philippines, and has among its holdings key collections such as the American Historical Collection, the Ateneo Library of Women's Writings, the Pardo de Tavera a large collection of Filipiniana and rare books, electronic materials, bound and electronic journals and periodicals, and an assortment of microfiche materials. Near Rizal Library are the University Archives.
Also located here are numerous units and research centers affiliated with the Ateneo, such as the Institute of Social Order, Institute of Philippine Culture, Institute on Church and Social Issues, Asian Public Intellectuals Fellowships, the Philippine Institute for Pure and Applied Chemistry, the Jesuit Communications Foundation, the Jesuit Basic Education Commission, and others. Also situated here are the East Asian Pastoral Institute, Loyola School of Theology, and San Jose Seminary, all Jesuit formation institutions all federated with the Ateneo de Manila University. The Manila Observatory is also located on campus.
Among the buildings in the campus are the Loyola Center, also known as the Ateneo Blue Eagle Gym, and the Moro Lorenzo Sports Center (MLSC). The Ateneo Gym is one of the largest gymnasiums among the universities in Metro Manila while the MLSC is often used by the Philippine National Basketball Team as well as other professional teams for their training needs.
The Church of the Gesu, completed in July 2002, overlooks the campus. The school's chapels include the St. Stanislaus Kostka chapel in the High School, the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception in the College complex's Gonzaga Hall, the chapel at the Loyola House of Studies, and the Chapel of the Holy Guardian Angels in the Grade School, among others.
The university has two on-campus dormitories for college students: Cervini Hall and Eliazo Hall. Located near the Loyola Schools, Cervini accommodates approximately two hundred male students, while Eliazo houses one hundred and sixty female students. Other dormitories which are also open to college and graduate school students are those of the Institute of Social Order, Arrupe International Residence, and the East Asian Pastoral Institute.
The Ateneo de Manila is also home to the largest Jesuit community in the Philippines, most of whom reside at the Jesuit Residence in the Loyola Heights campus. These Jesuits are involved in teaching, administration, and research within the University and others work with other affiliated units.
The Ateneo de Manila University Student Council is also known for its moderate policies. Although as of the moment it is defined as left, bearing with other prominent Student Councils, it is actually said to be Center-Left. Recently, it pushed through reforms with its new Student Council Constitution led by Anj Atadero and Marvyn Llamas.
