==Campuses== {{see also|List of Syracuse University buildings}} [[File:Hendricks Chapel - panoramio (3).jpg|thumb|[[Hendricks Chapel]]]] The university is set on a campus that features an eclectic mix of buildings, ranging from nineteenth-century Romanesque Revival structures to contemporary buildings designed by renowned architects such as [[I.M. Pei]]. The center of campus, with its grass quadrangle, landscaped walkways, and outdoor sculptures, offers students the amenities of a traditional college experience. The university overlooks [[downtown Syracuse]], a medium-sized city of approximately 150,000 residents in [[Central New York]].<ref name="Best Places to Live-Syracuse, NY" /> The school also owns an on-campus [[Sheraton Hotels and Resorts|Sheraton Hotel]];<ref name="Sheraton" /> (later turned into a dorm named Orange Hall), Marshall Square Mall;<ref name="MarshallMall">{{cite news |last=Gelb |first=Matt |date=April 28, 2007 |title=SU to open Marshall Square Mall gym in August |url=https://dailyorange.com/2007/04/su-to-open-marshall-square-mall-gym-in-august/ |work=[[The Daily Orange]] |location=Syracuse, NY |access-date=September 8, 2022}}</ref> the [[Drumlins Country Club]], a nearby, 36-hole [[golf course]] to the east of South Campus;<ref name="Drumlins Country Club" /> the Marshall, a 287-bed student housing complex (later renamed Milton Hall);<ref name="The Marshall"/> the Fisher Center and [[Joseph Lubin (accountant)|Joseph I.

The Warehouse also houses a contemporary art space that commissions, exhibits, and promotes the work of local and international artists in a variety of media. Hundreds of students and faculty have also been affected by the temporary move of the [[Syracuse University School of Architecture|School of Architecture]] downtown for the $12 million renovation of its campus facility, Slocum Hall.
