Main: Also called "North Campus," the main campus contains nearly all academic buildings and residence halls. Its
centerpiece is "The Quad" which is surrounded by many academic buildings, especially by those of the College of Arts and
Sciences. Most of the roads of the Main Campus are traffic-restricted during weekdays. A few disperse buildings lie outside of
this area, especially into the urban area to the north, around Marshall
Street. Approximately 5,000 students live in the sixteen residence halls on the Main Campus. It represents a large portion of
the University Hill neighborhood.

South: After World War II a large undeveloped hill, owned by the university, was used to house returning veterans in
military-style campus housing. During the 1970s this housing was replaced by permanent
two-level townhouses for two or three students each, or for graduate family housing. South Campus is also home to the Institute
for Sensory Research, Trinity Ice Pavilion, its own Student Center, and the InnComplete Pub. Just north are the headquarters of
SU Athletics. Approximately 2,500 students live on the South Campus.

Downtown (Future): In December 2004
the university announced that it had bought or leased twelve buildings in Downtown Syracuse. Hundreds of students and faculty will be affected by the temporary move of the School
of Architecture downtown for renovation purposes. The Syracuse Center of Excellence in Environmental and Energy Systems is
scheduled for completion in 2006. The Paul Robeson Performing Arts Company and the
Community Folk Art Center will also be located downtown.
Former
Tri-Cities: Located in Endicott, New York, this
former campus of Syracuse University, founded in 1946, moved across the Susquehanna River to Vestal and became independent Harpur College and eventually the State University of New York at Binghamton, or Binghamton University.
Utica: Located in Utica, New York and also founded in
1946, this campus remained part of Syracuse University until 1995. Utica College still offers the Syracuse University
bachelors degree and continues to have a very similar academic structure. It is officially mentioned in SU's charter and has two
members in its University Senate.
