College Prowler Take
The College Centre, the complex containing the athletic facilities at Centre C, has recently been upgraded and remodeled. Sutcliffe now houses a three-court multipurpose recreational gymnasium, a renovated alumni gym, elevated three-lane jogging track, two 30-person classrooms, an 80-person conference room, new student, faculty, and staff locker rooms, a video viewing room, a cardiovascular exercise deck, an exercise/aerobics classroom, two new glass racquetball courts, and 1,500 square feet of lounge space. Sutcliffe isn’t the only boss facility Centre has; there are also the athletic fields, which are well-maintained. The more popular amenities, like the Bijou, can be reserved ahead of time with minimal effort. The library is a great place to study, with private tables and work lamps to study under, but doesn’t have the books and information on hand that are needed for higher-level research projects. They will, however, help you with interlibrary loan. The science labs are equipped with microscopy laboratories that provide state-of-the-art instrumentation. There is also an aquatic research laboratory that provides research in marine and freshwater ecosystems, a greenhouse, and a botany laboratory for plant-related studies. The Norton Center for the Arts brings in big-name acts that are almost all free of charge for students, and houses a dance studio and all of the drama classrooms. Perhaps one of the best facilities Centre has is the hot glass studio, run by world-renowned glass artist Steve Powell.

All of the facilities are nice, well equipped, clean, and well staffed. The double-decker gym is huge. At my old school, the gym was a fifth of the size of the one at Centre, even though the school was three times the size of Centre. Everything on campus is very central, so if you want a snack while you're at the library, all you have to do is walk to the next building.

The facilities are great. The only thing lacking are places to eat. A lot of students would like to see something that is open late where the food is a little more healthy.

The facilities here are great and better than I’ve seen at other schools (even the ragged-on dorm computer labs). The student center is well-equipped but doesn’t get as much traffic as it can handle other than the Grille upstairs. |

I would say that the facilities are comparable to the state schools. |
FactsWhat To Do on Campus
In between classes, you can get your workout on in the 2005-remodeled state-of-the-art gym, play on an intramural team, hit the indoor or outdoor track, shoot some hoops on the court, go watch a live jam band, grab some mochas, volley some tennis balls, hop on the tree swing in front of Old Centre, play video games at The Grille, or just go catch a concert at The Norton Center.
Favorite Things To Do
Work out or play basketball at Sutcliffe, spend hours gossiping at the Grille, midnight movies, listening to coffeehouse readings and bands at the Grille, watch plays at Weisiger, get convo credits at The Norton Center, do yoga in front of Old Centre, and croquet in the Old Quad.
Bowling on Campus
- None, but there are Bowlarama Lanes and Findley's Fun Center near campus.
Movie Theater on Campus
- The Bijou is a fully functional theater. Although it does not play new releases, you can rent out the theater to watch old movies with your friends.
