Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

If there is one thing that Clark knows how to do, it is to maintain its facilities. Students may complain about the age of some of the dorms, but most don’t realize the amount of work that goes into them each summer. Many of the dorms and houses get completely repainted, and some of them get recarpeted, as well. The landscapers do a great job of keeping the grass cut and flowers planted in the spring, and the insides of the buildings are cleaned from top to bottom. On top of that, new buildings are being constructed and old buildings are being gutted and renovated all the time. As a matter of fact, the Goddard Library has been renovated recently. The University Center, Dana Commons, Goddard Library, the Kneller, and the campus Green are the major parts of the Clark campus, and each one is integral to student life. Being only about the size of two city blocks, the main campus facilities are all very close to one another and get a lot of traffic each day. The fairly new biology buildings and the Traina center for the Arts are worth checking out after arriving on campus.

Clark is not constructed to be a fully self-sufficient island apart from the surroundings of Worcester, which is why the administration chose to have an open-campus policy and not implement some entertainment features that some other campuses have. Clark has no need for on-campus movie theaters, clubs, or bowling alleys since the ones in Worcester are all so close and easy to get to. But, even without the need for such things, the school still does its best to use each building to its fullest potential for the students.

Mostly Good!

Most of the facilities at Clark are great. The Kneller gym could use some renovations, but it did just receive some new equipment. The library and AC (academic commons) is fairly new and a great place to go, with lots of new computers. Overall, Clark's facilities are pleasing.

Architecture

The campus is a mixture of late 1890s Romanesque and Modern. The Academic Commons and the Goddard are nice. The nicest buildings are the Lasry Bioscience Center and Jonas Clark Hall. The campus is hilly and the buildings are densely packed.

The gym is too small for my taste—there between five and eight bikes, ellipticals, and treadmills each and two stair-steppers. I have never used the weights, but it would definitely be nice to have a few more treadmills available. The new library at Clark is really great! The first floor Academic Commons is a fantastic place to hang out with friends, grab a bite to eat, or study all night long for a test. The whole library has been renovated, and it is really a great place to get work done.

The Grind This is the on-campus club where students have parties, shows, events, and sometimes functions. BSU usually hosts really good parties here. There are pool tables, pingpong, and even a foosball table.

Favorite Things To Do

Watching movies on Thursdays and Fridays, or going to big performances in Atwood Hall, like the once-a -semester musicals. Little Center puts on plays and acts by Clark students quite often. People really like to hang out in the UC or Academic Commons to unwind. There’s always some event happening, either during the week or during the weekend, and they are always worth checking out.

You can watch the big-screen TV in the lounge, play foosball, ping-pong, or pool at the Grind, which is open until 2 a.m. on weekends. Bistro is open until 2 a.m. on weeknights. On Fridays, student organizations usually organize some sort of activity like bingo or a movie night with free food. Also, the Academic Commons is a really popular place to hang out. SPOC has game nights, and there are musical performances every Thursday night for Freud’s Open Mic Night.

Did You Know?

Clark has just renovated Goddard Library in 2009, and its Academic Commons is all jazzed up with sofas, chairs, couches, Jazzman’s café, and a computer lab.
