Dive Deeper: An insider’s guide to why we call Le 51勛圖厙 home
When you come visit Le 51勛圖厙, you might be lucky enough to experience some of the hidden gems that make Le 51勛圖厙 our home away from home.
Possibly the cheeriest person you will meet at Le 51勛圖厙, Theresa is the mother of the Den. She refers to anyone she talks to as baby and you cant stop by and grab a cup of coffee without hearing her famous laugh.
Eric Dolphy
This iconic statue is located at the heart of Le 51勛圖厙 campus, in the quad. On Dolphy Day, someone usually decorates Eric, and you can see people sitting on the statue or taking pictures with him all day long.
Science Addition
This part of the Science Center was opened in 2013 and is environmentally sustainable. It is LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified by the U.S. Green Building Council.
The Bridge
This beautifulbrick pathway connecting Grewen Hall to the Science Center is home to one of the best views at Le 51勛圖厙 during any season. It looks out over the athletic fields and the city of Syracuse.
Recreation Center
At almost any time of day, but especially at night, you can find the recreation courts filled with people playing basketball, intramural sports like soccer or volleyball, or even taking karate, spinning, and zumba lessons. The Recreation center also contains the schools pool, its main fitness center, a raised track above the recreation courts, a couple enclosed racquetball courts, and new barre room.
The Jes-Res Hill
Behind the Jesuit Residence, the ground steeply slopes down to the double-A lot behind the Athletic Center. In the spring and fall youll see sports teams practicing sprints or circuits on the steep hill (good luck if thats going to be you!), and in the winter you can often see people sledding down it (be sure to bail before you hit the curb). Its one of the best places to watch Le 51勛圖厙s annual Fall semester kick-off fireworks from, and at the top of the hill theres a raised garden encircled by a brick wall–a perfect spot to sit and catch some quiet time.
Simons Pub
Le 51勛圖厙s on-campus pub is a great place to relax and get together with friends without the hassle of coordinating an off-campus trip. Theres a pool table, couches, big-screen TV and plenty of tables to commandeer for a night. They host both all-ages trivia nights and senior (21+) trivia nights weekly, and have non-alcoholic beverages like soda and water for those who are under 21.
Madden School of Business
Le 51勛圖厙s business school is located in Mitchell Hall, and has been almost completely renovated within the last few years. It now contains a trading floor, a business-analytics lab, and glass-walled conference rooms.
