Court–Kay–Bauer Community

The money generated from the renaming of Court Hall has been put towards the estimated $248 million development of West Campus.

Their goal was to build a residence that could be environmentally responsible during both construction and post-construction.

The result was a modern structure with extremely efficient insulation with a balance of window to wall space to maximize visibility during daytime hours.

Cornell students often refer to the Court–Kay–Bauer Community as the “Court-Resort” because, in comparison to many of Cornell’s other freshmen residence halls, Court Hall is modern, bright, cheerful, and climate controlled.

The first floor of Court, Kay and Bauer Halls includes a large kitchen, laundry facilities, vending machines, a bike storage room, and lounges designed for studying as well as leisure.

Traditions in the fledgling Court-Bauer Community are the Ice Cream Crawl, participation in Cornell's Relay for Life, the yearly induction of graduating seniors who lived in Court-Bauer during their first year, and weekly Creation Stations.
