Terraces Dining Hall and Baker Walkway elevator project still underway amid challenges

By Ryan Johnson, Staff Writer • September 11, 2024
The Terrace Elevator Connector Project at Ithaca College started April 1 and has been underway since then, causing Terrace 1 to be closed to students. In the time frame since the project began, the spiral staircase at the Terrace Dining Hall has been removed and two all-gender restrooms have been added on the first floor of the dining hall. 
The Terrace Elevator Connector Project includes a new elevator that will make six stops through the ground floor of the Terrace Dining Hall up to Terrace 1; an accessible walkway that will connect Baker Walkway and the Terrace Bridge level to the dining hall; and two all-gender bathrooms on the ground floor of the dining hall. The only accessible entrance to the dining hall is on the west side of the building.
