The Bryant Center houses the bookstore, meeting places, a dining hall, and a food court. There are also copying services and a hair salon. The Koffler Building offers 65 Internet-ready computers, high-speed printers, and scanners. Koffler also houses the Communications Complex where you will find Bryant's student-run radio station WJMF and a state-of-the-art television studio with digital editing technology and the best production facilities available. The George E. Bello Center for Information and Technology is the hub of technological activity on campus with thousands of wired and wireless data ports. Banks of high-speed computers provide access to numerous reference databases, including Bryant's own International Trade Data Network. The C. V. Starr Financial Markets Center receives real-time news, information, and data, which is transferred by live feeds through Reuters 3000, a financial trading system used by some of the largest financial organizations in the world. The Bello Center also houses The Douglas and Judith Krupp Library; high-technology classrooms; the Stepan Grand Hall; team study rooms; and the Bulldog Bytes Cafe. The Douglas and Judith Krupp Library contains more than 150,000 items in a variety of formats, from publications to audiovisuals and subscriptions to more than 20,000 journals and newspapers in traditional hard copy or electronic format, making it one of the most comprehensive business library collections in the region. Students can balance their academic pursuits with their health and well-being at the Elizabeth and Malcolm Chace Wellness and Athletic Center. This impressive facility features a fully equipped fitness center that rivals the best private health clubs. In addition to a six-lane swimming pool, there is an array of circuit training equipment and free weights; and a group exercise room for aerobics, karate, yoga, spinning, and other activities. The university has impressive athletic fields, a 4,000-seat stadium, and the multi-purpose athletic center ("the MAC") for a variety of Division II sports including football, baseball, soccer, lacrosse, and basketball. |
