Balch Hall — home to Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s college bedroom, old-fashioned “sink rooms” and the Instagram account @bugsofbalch — is about to get a makeover.
Atkinson Hall promises new opportunities for progress in sustainability initiatives and collaboration between various science departments.
North campus construction continues, staying on track despite the pandemic but disrupting student lifestyles.
Cornell has its own Asbestos Management Program that includes an annual abatement plan and steps to address incidental disturbance of asbestos-containing materials, according to Cornell’s Environmental Health and Safety website.
All in all, construction on campus will not be ending anytime soon. As these projects wrap up, new ones will be started as Cornell continues to strive to be a premier institution.
While students waited hours last year to try to enter the career fair, students this year were able to breeze into Barton Hall.
Phase One of the $7.8 million Ag Quad renovation project is largely complete.
Over winter break, construction on Cornell’s campus included the demolition of a building on West Campus — 722 University Avenue — and a newly renovated Barton Hall.
“‘Cornell Health’ is not so much a ‘rebranding’ of Gannett as it is a new name for a nearly entirely new facility, with the original building undergoing extensive demolition and complete renovation,” said Sharon Dittman, associate director of community relations for Gannett.
