Ernie Davis Residence Hall

Named for Ernie Davis, Syracuse University football star and the first African American player to be awarded the Heisman Trophy, this residence hall includes a fitness center and convenience store, as well as lounges and laundry facilities on each floor. The dining center is known around campus for having a great selection, with stations for pizza, pasta, burgers, salads, Chinese food, and daily specials.

Notes:

Ernie Davis Hall is the University's first "green" residence hall, constructed to meet the standards of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System, a global standard of sustainable green building and development practices. It was constructed with such features as low water-use fixtures, a storm-water management system, advanced materials requiring less energy to cool, and dining hall efficiencies to reduce food waste and hot-water consumption.
