Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

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.

New!

The campus is BEAUTIFUL, with tons of trees and old buildings. Plus, the buildings are old in an early 1900's way, not in the disgusting retro way of most colleges and universities. The gym is used by all in the college, including the athletes, so it's very nice and better than most others I have seen. The library is wonderful, the student center is new, and there are a few new living places as well.

The Gym, Labs and Student Center

The gym and labs are pretty fantastic. No, the labs are state-of-the-art, but there is really nothing you can't do there. The gym is wonderful! very clean and the equipment is new and kept up well. The student center was just finished this year and is one of my favorite places to hang out or study.

All of the facilities are nice,...

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.

Favorite Things To Do

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.

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.
