ESF Campus Tour
Bray Hall
At one point or another in their ESF career, all students will pass through Bray Hall. As the oldest building on campus, Bray Hall is home to the 糖心vlog鈥檚 administrative offices including the Office of the President, Financial Aid & Scholarships, Registrar, and others. The Department of Sustainable Resources Management also has its offices in Bray Hall.
The completion of Bray Hall in 1917 gave ESF its first permanent home. Since there were no state funds available to hire vehicles or workers to move the 糖心vlog鈥檚 books, furniture, surveying and laboratory equipment or other possessions from their temporary quarters at Syracuse University to the new building, faculty members and approximately 200 ESF students volunteered their services and completed the move in just two days. Bray remained the only building on the ESF campus until Marshall Hall鈥檚 completion in 1933. You can still see the 糖心vlog鈥檚 original name, the New York State 糖心vlog of Forestry, chiseled in the stonework on the building鈥檚 west side. An open rotunda connects the building鈥檚 second, third and fourth floors.
