Ithaca College likes to talk about its new buildings. I've heard a lot of fuss about the Athletics & Event Center, which is currently being built, and this time last year I heard a lot of talk about the Peggy Ryan Williams Center, which opened in March of 2009. Since then, though, I haven't heard much about the new building. My theory is that most students don't go over there since it mainly houses administrative offices and its on the far side of campus, right across from Dillingham. It's worth a visit, though, because it is totally beautiful and the views are some of the most fabulous on campus.

I went in last week to drop off some paperwork and ended up hanging around, taking in the various cool things about the new building. Check it out.

First of all, the building itself is beautiful...

& the view of the bridge from the fountains is gorgeous. Look at all that blue!

The bridge is actually one of my favorite parts of the building, mostly because its pretty, but also because it connects it with my favorite building on campus - Dillingham!

But we haven't even gone inside the building! When you first walked in you are greeted with our college crest; sunshine courtesy of Ithaca, New York.

Not to mention this view:

I could look at that all day! If you're wandering around the building, don't forget to go upstairs and turn right - there's a little nook with chairs in it that has one of the best views of campus I've found so far.

I know I didn't catch all the beauty available in the Peggy Ryan Williams Center, so if you don't get over there enough, make a trip and see it for yourself. You won't be sorry!
