Capital Projects

Transforming the ways and the places in which we teach.



Any gift designated for a particular strategic initiative — as endowment support, scholarship assistance, building renovation — is a capital gift. These investments of cash, securities, and property from generous alumni, parents, and friends have helped Colgate to prosper; they have also provided countless opportunities for community members to honor or memorialize individuals of their choosing.

Current Capital Projects at Colgate

Upstate Institute
A Colgate education is not for the timid.

Politics, Philosophy, and Economics
This cross-disciplinary institute is rooted in the most traditional sense of liberal studies.

Creative and Performing Arts
The Institute for the Creative and Performing Arts harnesses the great energy around the arts on campus.

Athletic programs and facilities
Colgate student-athletes are giant killers, and our Division I athletic programs have been a mainstay of student life since day one.

Blackmore Media Center
Our new Blackmore Media Center brings DJs out of Drake Hall and into the Coop, closer to the center of university life.
