Utica College - Campus

Campus

Utica College was originally located in downtown Utica, NY in what is now called Oneida Square. In 1961 the school moved to its current 128-acre (0.5 km2) campus, located in the western area of the city. Close to its borders are the towns of Whitestown and New Hartford. The campus can be accessed from both Burrstone Road and Champlin Avenue.

When first completed, the current campus consisted of Hubbard Hall (academic classrooms), Addison Miller White Hall (administration), Gordon Science Center, DePerno Hall (faculty offices), and the Frank E. Gannett Memorial Library. Gannett Library is located on the Champlin Avenue side of the campus and provides students with access to over 200,000 volumes.

The original residence halls of North and South Hall are still in use as is Alumni Hall, an apartment-style residence hall. The Ralph F. Strebel Center is the student center which houses the Office of Student Activities, Pioneer Cafe (dining commons), the college radio station WPNR, the Utica College bookstore, the Pioneer Pub, Career Services, Counseling and Student Development, Campus Safety and the Dean of Students office. Increased enrollment at the turn of the millennium prompted the administration to expand. Recent construction projects include an addition to the main academic building in 2002, and three dormitories of New Hall and Conference Center (now called Boehlert Hall and Conference Center), Tower Hall, and Bell Hall. Construction is now complete on the new F. Eugene Romano Hall, Phase I of UC's new Science and Technology Center, which will be 23,000 square feet (2,100 m2) of classrooms, laboratories, clinical space, and technological upgrades. Fundraising and pursuit of grants is currently underway for another planned phase of the expansion project.

In Fall 2008, the college enrolled 2,505 undergraduate students and 599 graduate students. There are nearly 20,000 Utica College alumni.

In Winter 2009 the college opened up a new building called the Economic Crime, Justice Studies, and Cybersecurity building.
