The SUNYIT campus is situated on more than 400 acres of wooded terrain with several small streams and ravines. Since the opening of the first building, Kunsela Hall, in 1984-85, the campus has grown to include seven major buildings and three residential complexes. In 2011, construction of three buildings was completed: a Student Center, Field House and Oriskany Residence Hall, a capital investment of nearly $60 million. Construction of the Computer Chip Commercialization Center (Quad-C) is underway with completion expected in fall 2014. Wireless Internet access is available in all residence halls and campus buildings.<\/p>\n
Kunsela Hall was the first and remains the largest campus building. Completed in 1985, Kunsela contains admissions and most administrative offices, and a number of faculty offices. It also houses traditional and special-purpose classrooms, a computer center, a 240-seat lecture hall, the college bookstore, and the Gannett Gallery, which hosts a variety of art exhibits.<\/p>\n
Donovan Hall, which opened in 1988, is the central academic building. In addition to its laboratories, Donovan also features a variety of special purpose classrooms and small lecture halls, and is home to a number of academic and faculty offices. The building\u2019s architecture echoes SUNYIT\u2019s early days when the college operated in several locations, including former manufacturing buildings in west Utica.<\/p>\n
Facing Kunsela Hall is the Cayan Library, which opened in 2003. Housing the campus library collections and archives, the building offers private study rooms and a variety of settings for reading and studying; dozens of computer work stations in the first-floor reference area; a 30-seat instruction\/ meeting room; a caf\u00e9; and a second-floor study room with a fireplace. In 2010, as part of the information and learning resources department, library services were expanded to include student computer support; a help desk is located on the first floor.<\/p>\n
Near Cayan Library, Kunsela and Donovan Halls is the $13.6 million Student Center. Intended to promote student engagement and enhance student life programs, this Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver building gives students a unique gathering place. An open design creates flexible spaces for multi-purpose events, as well as a large food court. Other building features include a caf\u00e9, theater, game room, student radio station, and Student Association offices. The 43,000 square foot building is equipped with advanced audio\/video systems and a wall-sized visual media display.<\/p>\n
Located north of Donovan Hall and the Student Center is the 95,500 square foot Wildcat Field House, which features a fitness center, two full-sized basketball courts, four volleyball courts, indoor practice facilities, a running track, an expansive training room, team rooms, and athletic department offices. Completed in 2011, this facility accommodates 3,500 spectators and is home to intercollegiate athletics, intramural, and recreation programs.<\/p>\n
Just east of the Field House are a new synthetic turf field, baseball field, and softball field. Other outdoor playing fields include soccer, intramural and practice fields. A mile-long nature\/hiking exercise trail weaves its way through a wooded hillside and around two man-made ponds. A five-mile hiking\/cross country course stretching across the northern and western portions of the campus is also available.<\/p>\n
The Campus Center is located west of the academic campus core, across a pedestrian bridge above a wooded ravine. Opened in 1988, the Campus Center houses a newly renovated 600-seat student dining area. The upper mezzanine with lounge seating and a fireplace is a popular place for students to enjoy a casual lunch. The Campus Center also features a gymnasium with a maple-floor basketball court for SUNYIT Wildcat teams, team locker rooms, indoor exercise track, racquetball court, and saunas.<\/p>\n
To the north of the Campus Center is Oriskany Residence Hall, a $23.5 million residential facility for first-year students. The 85,000 square foot complex consists of a three-story main building with two smaller two-story wings. Oriskany provides living accommodations for 240 students as well as classroom spaces for special events.<\/p>\n
To the west of the Campus Center across a second pedestrian bridge is the Adirondack Residence Hall complex. Opened in 1992, Adirondack consists of 25 two-story townhouse-style buildings, connected to form the borders of two triangular commons. Each building contains four, four-person suites in a mix of one- and two-person bedrooms. The Mohawk Residence Hall complex opened in 1996, and consists of 12 two-story townhouses with a commons area and laundry facilities. Each living room suite at Mohawk is equipped with an air-conditioning unit. Residents of Mohawk can park in three lots located west and north of the complex.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
