As the first new building on the College’s 45-acre campus in 15 years, the 35,000 square foot Barbara Walters Campus Center serves as a magnet for intellectual, cultural, and social life. Ideally located at the midpoint of the campus, it features adaptable social and academic gathering spaces, a venue suitable for campus and public events, lounges, dining facilities, and the Student Organization Space exclusively for the use of student clubs, activities, and collaborative work.
