Enid A. Haupt Conservatory
Enid A. Haupt Conservatory

The Enid A. Haupt Conservatory is a greenhouse at the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) in the Bronx, New York, United States. The conservatory was designed by Lord & Burnham Co. in the Italian Renaissance style. Its major design features are inspired by the Palm House at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, and Joseph Paxton's Crystal Palace.Groundbreaking took place on January 3, 1899 and construction was completed in 1902 at a cost of $177,000. The building was constructed by John R. Sheehan under contract for the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. Since the original construction, major renovations took place in 1935, 1950, 1978, and 1993. By the 1970s, the building was in a state of extreme disrepair and had to be either substantially rebuilt or torn down. Enid Annenberg Haupt saved the conservatory from demolition with a $5 million contribution for renovation and a $5 million endowment for maintenance of the building. A subsequent renovation, which started in 1978, restored the conservatory closer to its original design, which had been compromised during the 1935 and 1950 renovations. Due to her contributions, the Conservatory was named the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory in 1978.The 1993 renovation replaced the inner workings of the conservatory. At this time, the mechanical systems to control temperature, humidity, and ventilation were upgraded to computerized systems. The exhibits were also redesigned. The conservatory serves as a focal point of the park and a center for education. It is a New York City designated landmark.

Academy of Mount St. Ursula

The Academy of Mount St. Ursula is a Catholic girls’ college preparatory school in the United States, which was founded in 1855 as a part of the Monastery of St. Ursula in the town of Morrisania (now a part of the Bronx, New York). In 1892 the monastery relocated to Bedford Park Boulevard and Bainbridge Avenue, two blocks east of the Grand Concourse, in the Bronx. It is the oldest continuously operating Catholic high school for girls in the State of New York, and is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York. Owned and administered by the Ursuline Sisters of the Roman Union, the Academy of Mount St. Ursula's curriculum is based on spiritual and moral values. Providing advanced placement courses and connections with Mercy College and St. John's University, the academy gives qualified students the opportunity to earn college credit in their junior and senior years. Regular college preparatory courses enable the students to excel and apply to a wide variety of colleges and professional schools. The school has been honored by the United States Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School. AMSU continues to be accredited by the Middle States Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools. With a faculty and staff of 55, mainly lay personnel, and approximately 380 students, the Academy of Mount St. Ursula has a teacher-student ratio of 1 to 15 and an average class size of 20 to 25 students. In keeping with its Catholic identity and Ursuline tradition, the academy focuses greatly on community service. The school's motto is SERVIAM. This is the motto of all schools of the Ursuline Sisters of the Roman Union. The young women are required to complete a certain number of hours volunteering. They have joined with the young men of Cardinal Hayes High School in the "Cardinal Hayes Program Exceptional Children." The program takes place most Sundays during the academic year. There, the students join in helping children and adults with special needs. Students also are involved in Service Activities through the United Nations, in their parish, elementary schools and community organizations.

Rose Hill Gymnasium
Rose Hill Gymnasium

Rose Hill Gymnasium is a 3,200-seat multi-purpose arena on the Rose Hill campus of Fordham University in The Bronx, New York City, New York. The arena, which opened in 1925, is the oldest on-campus venue currently used primarily for an NCAA Division I basketball team and the second-oldest overall (with the oldest being Northeastern University's Matthews Arena, opened in 1910 and currently used for its basketball and hockey teams). Fordham's volleyball team also used the gym. The Rose Hill Gymnasium has a gothic façade that fits in well with the rest of Fordham University's buildings. The interior design features two high-tech video boards, bleachers that surround all four sides of the court, and additional elevated seating along the courtside. ESPN named this gym one of the four “cathedrals” of college basketball. At the time it was built, it was one of the largest on-campus facilities in the country, earning it the nickname "The Prairie." The Rose Hill Gymnasium has been the site of many legendary college and high school basketball games, including the final high school game of Lew Alcindor, later known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. During World War II, it was also used as a barracks. New York City Mayor Ed Koch lived in these barracks for a time. As early as 1970 an effort, headed by famed Fordham alumnus Vince Lombardi, was made to build a new arena. This effort ended with Lombardi's death and the move of head basketball coach "Digger" Phelps to the University of Notre Dame.

Coffey Field
Coffey Field

Jack Coffey Field is a 7,000-seat multi-purpose stadium in The Bronx, New York. It is home to the Fordham Rams football, Fordham Rams men's soccer, Fordham Rams women's soccer and Fordham Rams baseball teams. The facility opened for baseball in 1930. It was named after former Fordham baseball coach and longtime athletic director, Jack Coffey, in 1954, four years before his 1958 retirement.Starting in 1964, students began using the left field and center field area for their club football team. The team was sponsored by the students themselves and it was these same students who rented temporary wooden stands, to be set around the gridiron, for the 1964 and 1965 seasons. The university stepped in to build permanent wooden stands behind the left field home run wall [1] [2] which served as a grandstand for football. A press box and scoreboard were added in 1967 [3] and the university reinstated varsity football for the 1970 season. In 1990, and with Fordham football moving up to the I-AA ranks (now known as the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision), those wooden stands were torn down and replaced with aluminum bleachers [4]. Bathrooms and concessions were added beneath the new set of bleachers while an elevator was added to the new press box. Also beneath the bleachers, a 3,200 square foot weight room which was added in 1996. FieldTurf replaced the grass field in 2005 while, behind home plate, other renovations during 2004 and 2005 included lights, new dugouts, as well as a new grandstand and press box for the baseball section of the facility. This section now goes by Houlihan Park, as the recognized home of the Fordham Rams baseball team. In 2014 Jack Coffey Field underwent further renovations including the addition of a full-color DakTronics video scoreboard beyond the Southern Boulevard endzone as well as chair back seating between the 40 yard lines. FieldTurf surface was also replaced with FieldTurfTM. Aside from college baseball, football and soccer, professional soccer also came to Jack Coffey Field in 2016 as it hosted the Fourth Round U.S. Open Cup match between the New York Cosmos and NYCFC.
