Syracuse University students may notice a little extra room in their residence halls down the road if the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry decides to build its own hall, which it is currently considering.If it is built, the dormitory will be available as an alternative to off-campus housing for ESF upperclassmen and first year graduate students. ESF students are only required to live in university housing their freshmen year, unlike the two years required for Syracuse University students.According to ESF President Neil Murphy, the building is only in the preliminary phases.’We haven’t even acquired all of the property yet,’ said Murphy. ‘Once we acquire the property, we will have a better idea.’SUNY-ESF freshmen are currently living in learning communities in Day, Sadler and Boland residence halls. SU and ESF students share many services on campus, including health services, dining halls, clubs and organizations.According to Eileen Simmons, director of Housing, Meal Plan and I.D. Card Services, there are only two differences in the campus experience between SU and SUNY-ESF students.’One is the color of their ID card, which is green of course,’ Simmons said, ‘And the other is that SUNY-ESF students can’t be on NCAA sports teams. Part of the decision to go to SUNY-ESF is being part of the SU community.’Eli Walkley, a freshman environmental biology major at ESF, said he is excited about the thought of having a residence hall ESF could call its own. ‘I think the building could be more environmentally-friendly as a whole,’ Walkley said. ‘There would be no Styrofoam, and there could be solar panels on the roof. It would be totally ESF.’Jim Roemmelt, a forestry resources management major at ESF, said he wants the residence hall to create a closer community. ‘It’d be more closely related, since we all might have the same classes,’ he said. ‘There would be people from our school on all eight floors instead of just one.’
