Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Most of the buildings on Ithaca College's campus are fairly old looking, with a look of dirty cement and faded paint. The dreadful winter weather can make the buildings seem even more unappealing than they are. With that being said, there are several buildings that have recently been redone. One campus bright spot is outside of Dillingham, the theater building, where beautiful fountains spray high into the air. When the sun is shining, this is a great sight to come across. Unfortunately, the fountains are only on from summer up until fall break. 

The Roy H. Park School of Communications has state-of-the-art facilities, including the most updated Apple computers and software. Although many of the classrooms in the Park School do not have windows, the overall feel of the school is very aesthetically pleasing. Park has a plethora of media resources for students, including a dark room and television and radio equipment. The Center for Natural Sciences has extensive laboratories, while the Center for Health Sciences has a speech and hearing clinic, physical and occupational therapy clinics, and a wellness center. Whalen Center for Music has recording facilities and practice rooms. The College even has an observatory, which is the perfect place to look out into the sky. The business school houses the Center for Trading and Analysis of Financial Instruments, and the lag time between the NY Stock Exchange and IC’s trading data is one-fourth of a second. The business school also has mahogany lockers and is a prime example of environmental stewardship, incorporating the highest principles of sustainable design.

The Newer Buildings Are Nice

Though the newest, the A&E Center is not utilized to its fullest potential. We should get more events and activities to be held in it. The buildings on the outside of the campus are very modern looking, but as you go towards the center of campus, you can tell which ones were the first buildings to be built on the grounds.

Really Ithaca?

The amount of money that was put into the new A&E Center (Athletics and Events) its completely ridiculous. They could be putting money towards fixing pathways on campus, so people don't fall done the never ending amount of stairs. The student center (campus center) isn't anything special. La Vencita usually has decent food.

Facts

"Green" Initiatives

The Dorothy D. and Roy H. Park Center for Business and Sustainable Enterprise was among the first 100 buildings in the world to receive platinum LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, the highest level granted by the U.S. Green Building Council.

Favorite Things To Do

Many students enjoy going to concerts at the music school or plays done by the theater department. The College brings in many speakers and performers, which also bode well with students. The campus group IC After Dark sponsors theme nights on the weekends as an alternative to alcohol, which are always well attended by students.

From grabbing some coffee, watching a film on the weekend, listening to a speaker, or attending an IC After Dark event, most students can find something to do on campus. IC doesn't have the many amenities that larger schools offer, but with the surrounding city, no student ever has the excuse that he or she can't find something to do.
