56. Skytop The area south of the main campus was previously the site of the University farms and Drumlins apple orchard. It was developed after World War II for extended housing, with the construction of Quonset huts and trailers for homecoming GIs. Today, Skytop continues to house students, though in more modern apartment facilities, but it has also taken on another function.
Skytop Office Building and the Institute for Sensory Research have brought main campus departments to south campus. The Institute for Sensory Research is a nationally renowned, state-of-the-art research facility devoted to advanced multidisciplinary study of sensory systems. Skytop is also the home of the Lois Good Tennis Pavilion, where the University's women's tennis team competes, the new Women's Softball stadium, and the Ice Skating Pavilion (see next slide). Skytop is also the site for the University Research Park, currently being developed to bring academicians and business people together in joint projects. The centerpiece of south campus is the Ann and Alfred Goldstein Student Center (shown left), which was built in 1990. Alfred Goldstein, a trustee of the University, and Ann Lubin Goldstein '48, whose father donated funds toward the purchase of Syracuse University's Joseph I. Lubin House in New York City, have long supported the University in many ways.
