Nazareth College (New York) - Campus

Campus

• 150 acres (0.61 km2)
• 24 buildings, including 11 residence halls, a 2,200 seat stadium and all-weather track.
• The Golisano Academic Center was built in 1927. It is the oldest and largest building on campus, once serving as the "motherhouse" for the Sisters of St. Joseph. It was purchased from the Sisters of St. Joseph in 2003 and is now used for academic and administrative purposes. Features of the Center include the ornate Linehan Chapel and Caffe Sorelle.
• Nazareth's Integrated Center for Math and Science, Peckham Hall, opened in fall 2012. The center features multi-purpose research spaces (including state-of-the-art labs and classrooms), a range of support services, and a variety of student centers. It is also the first project on campus to achieve a Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED)-certified green building rating.
• The Nazareth College Arts Center, which houses the departments of Theatre Arts, Music, and Art, has entertained almost three million people at performances since it opened in 1967. The Arts Center was renovated in September 2009 to become a dance and performance venue. The 2010 Princeton Review names Nazareth College the 6th Best College Theater in the country (up from #9 in 2009.)
• On-campus clinics for speech and hearing, reading and physical therapy allow students to gain practical experience, and are also open to the Rochester community.
• Although independent since the 1970s, the Catholic heritage of the College is still evident in the architecture and grounds of the campus. The Lorette Wilmot Library features a large stained glass window depicting St. Jerome and houses the Thomas Merton reading room and archival collection. A statue of St. Joseph is featured on the exterior of the central tower of the Golisano Academic Center and a statue of the Virgin Mary stands in front of Smyth Hall.
• A network of underground tunnels connects many of the buildings on campus, allowing students and employees to avoid the cold and snow of the winters in upstate New York.
