Campus & Facilities
Carefully preserved architecture, immaculate grounds, and a hillside setting, rank Colgate’s campus among the most beautiful in the nation.
Colgate is composed of 88 buildings, each designed to complement each other and build a singular architectural language, with construction dates ranging from 1827 to 2019. It sits on nearly 600 acres of land, nestled on a hillside at the northern edge of the Allegheny Plateau, and is home to sugar maples, northern red oaks, and Taylor Lake.
Traditions
From the moment you arrive in Hamilton, you’ll see why the Colgate experience will stay with you far beyond your time on the hill. It’s here that you’ll have everyday moments — and momentous occasions — that will make you realize why your four years on this campus are such an integral part of your life's journey.
University History
Colgate University’s present success and vision for a bright future is rooted in a rich, 200-year history.
Facilities
The department conducts studies of East Asian languages and literatures in the well-equipped study spaces of Lawrence Hall. These spaces enhance the study of this fascinating discipline and its cultural assets.
