The 128-acre (52 ha) campus is located in a residential section of La Crosse.

In 2006, UW-La Crosse received a "Grand Award" at the 2006 Green Star Awards competition for its campus landscaping from the Professional Grounds Management Society.

To the east of campus are the La Crosse bluffs, of which the most prominent is Grandad Bluff (mentioned in Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain. Downtown La Crosse and the Mississippi River are about a half mile west of campus.

Hoeschler Tower (1996), located in the heart of UWL, is the focal point of campus and a popular destination and meeting place for students.It is also the site for many university and student events, such as concerts, fundraisers, the clocktower dance, memorial services, and the traditional hanging of the lantern.

Students can live in one of the university's residence halls. The newest residence hall, Eagle Hall, opened Fall 2011 and houses 500 students and the Office of Residence Life.Reuter Hall, an apartment-style residence hall, was completed in 2006. Two 1950s-era residence halls, Trowbridge Hall and Baird Hall, were demolished in spring 2009 to make way for a new academic building, Centennial Hall, which was completed in the fall of 2011 and is the largest academic building on campus.

In 2018, Badger Street was converted into the Badger Street Mall, a pedestrian corridor between the Student Union and Prairie Springs Science Center. The mall features new pedestrian walkways, including landscaping, lighting, storm water management features, bicycle racks, and seating. Plans to expand the mall further west past Murphy Library to the Whitney Center will be completed in summer 2020.
