Computer stations are available for shared use amongst NYC students enrolled in the program and faculty. Please remember to logout when you are done, so that others may use the computer. Computer keyboards must be disinfected after each use.
Plotter Room
Enrolled NYC architecture students have access to the plotter room 24/7.
If paper, ink, or other supplies are out-of-stock please inform the Student Program Assistants or the Program Manager to replace them.

New York City Research Resources
New York Public Library: access and circulation of select items
Any person who lives, works, attends school or pays property taxes in New York State is eligible to receive a New York Public Library card free of charge.
Students may either apply online or in person at any New York Public Library location or Library-sponsored event. A valid identification must be presented before using the card to borrow materials, download eNYPL content, search Library databases, or reserve a computer.
In-person applicants and online applicants who reside in the New York Metropolitan Area (the five boroughs, Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester Counties), must present an accepted form of identification when picking up the card. Library card applicants from areas of NY State outside of the Metro NY area may email scans or copies of the required forms of identification to patronaccounts@nypl.org. Alternatively, this information may be faxed to (212) 621-0278.
Patrons are responsible for returning borrowed items on time, and for any fines and fees associated with overdue or non-returned items. A receipt indicating the date due is issued with every item borrowed. Please note that the Library card alone does not allow access to certain Special Collections; check with the appropriate division for details.
New York City Culture Pass: free access to participating Cultural Institutions
Any person who holds a physical New York City Public Library Card can receive a Culture Pass.
Students may either apply online with their library card and using the website arrange free access to varying museums and attractions.
Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library, Columbia University: access only
Because Syracuse University Library is a member of SHARES, faculty, students and staff have on-site access to Avery collections.
SU faculty/students/staff should first present their valid SU ID and driver’s license to Butler Library, where they will be issued a pass that can be used in the Columbia libraries. Photo identification may be requested if the ID does not include a photograph.
In-library use of material is permitted, but SHARES members are not granted borrowing privileges. Visitors will receive the same degree of access accorded their peers at the host institution; for example, visiting faculty will be granted local faculty privileges. Access to special or restricted collections or materials may be possible if arranged in advance.
City College Architecture Library: access and reference assistance
Syracuse Architecture studio program visitors are welcome to use the collections and services of CCNY Architecture Library during regular posted library hours.
Students and faculty must have a valid Syracuse University ID and must sign in upon arrival at the Public Safety Desk adjacent to the library’s first floor location in the Spitzer School of Architecture Building (141 Convent Avenue), located on CCNY’s south Campus at the corner of 135th Street and Convent Avenue. Public Safety will alert the library staff to the arrival of approved visitors.
Syracuse visitors may use the Architecture Library’s collection including Reserve items which require that the faculty member’s or student’s Syracuse ID be left at the library’s Reserve Desk until items are returned. They may also use the library’s public computers, copiers and printers and they will have access to reference assistance. Syracuse faculty and students have no borrowing or Inter-Library Loan privileges, no off-site access to the library’s electronic databases.
Students in the NYC studio have off-site access to the SU Library catalog and electronic databases. The library is not able to send books to students, though upon request book chapters or periodical articles within copyright will be scanned and sent to the students and electronically. This process is handled through the ILL/delivery system. Please allow 48 hours turnaround time. At present, students should use the regular ILL form to make a book chapter scan request. The same process applies to periodical articles.
Students are also able to remotely access SUL subscription full-text databases like JSTOR as well as citation databases like the Avery Index. Use of the Avery Index will enable students to locate information which then may be scanned through SUL or locate at NYC libraries.
Periodical articles not held by the Syracuse University Library can be obtained through regular Interlibrary Loan procedures.
Students needing reference assistance for their research should email Barbara Opar at baopar@syr.edu. Citations will be provided and within copyright periodical articles or book chapters will then be scanned and provided to the students to help facilitate their work. Please allow 48 hours.
Material ConnecXion maintains the largest library of advanced, innovative and sustainable materials and processes in the world. Material ConneXion provides a quick global view of the latest innovative and often cutting edge materials. Designed to serve the design disciplines broadly. Material ConneXion offers easy keyword searching options. Users can locate detailed information about specific products and manufacturers. Material ConneXion highlights products that defy conventional notions of strength, weight, and density. Sustainable products are emphasized.
Note: this should be accessed from within the University’s internet system. If accessing from home, you should access the database from the Library website (you will need your SU NetID). If you have problems accessing the database, please speak with our librarian, Barbara Opar.
This database recently upgraded its interface, and now is very similar to Google, in that you simply enter a search term (for example “translucent concrete”) and you will be provided with item info that matches your search criteria. There are powerful filters to refine your query, or perform an advanced search.
Each material item contains several illustrative photographs, explanations of the material’s fabrication process, general sizes available commercially, typical installation uses, and the ability to continue on to the websites of manufacturers providing specific commercial products similar to the material you have searched.

Files are auto-deleted from the G:\Students Scans\ after 24 hours.
Workstation Computers
Six Dell Precision computers are available for use in studio. These computers are similar to the lab computers back in Syracuse in that they have all the same software. They are actually part of the same computer lab environment as those in Slocum Hall. Please use your SU NetID and NetID password to login. While logged in, you can reach the same network drives as on your laptop and print to the network printers and plotters using the pay-per-plot system. The computer specs include a Xeon multi-core cpu, 16-32gb of RAM, 1tb SSD, and 27” monitor with 2560x1440 resolution.
Software installed includes everything at this link: http://soa.syr.edu/resources/technology/computing/computer-labs/.

Logitech Meetup webconferencing system + tripod
The basic workflow for using the Meetup is:
Attach the Meetup to the tripod by clipping in the shoe.
Place tripod at end of conference table or wherever is convenient.
Plug in AC power.
Optionally plug in the extra puck mic (you may or may not need this, as the Meetup’s built in mics are pretty powerful).
Plug in USB-C cable and attach to laptop.
There is no need to install special software on the laptop—the Meetup’s camera, mic and speaker will all appear as choices in Zoom, Teams, etc. (They will need to be selected to avoid using the laptop’s built in devices.)
The remote control for the camera functions when the Meetup is plugged into power *and* a laptop. You can then use the remote to move the camera lens around and zoom in or out. Sometimes the camera moves around on its own, so you may need to periodically reposition it using the remote.
