The community programming of the College’s radio station, WSIA, 88.9 FM, extends beyond New York City to parts of New Jersey. The College’s Center for the Arts (CFA) is the premiere cultural arts and performance space on Staten Island. The CFA’s Concert Hall is recognized for its superior acoustic qualities, and the Broadway-style Williamson Theatre presents many New York City premieres from national touring companies and international artists. Past performance highlights include recent Grammy award winner Michelle Branch, Joan Rivers, and Amateur Night at the Apollo, as well as Shakespearean, operatic, and symphonic performances. The College’s Observatory is internationally recognized as an asteroid tracking station, and findings are reported to the Minor Planet Center of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Another of the College’s rich resources is the Library. Research and study facilities are enhanced by CSI’s robust network and electronic resource subscriptions, and students can collaborate and relax in the new cyber-café and coffee bar. Whether inside or outside of the classroom, at home or abroad, the College of Staten Island experience speaks to the hearts, minds, and bodies of its students. The dedicated faculty and staff of CSI realize the students’ potential for excellence, and offers innovative and exciting paths to guide them as they transform their lives and ultimately, the world.

World Class, Right Here! The Sports & Recreation Center Facilities...

Among the many offerings housed in and around the Sports & Recreation Center are a 25- meter, eight-lane swimming pool, racquetball and basketball courts, an aerobics room, and weight room. Surrounding the Center are baseball and softball stadiums, soccer fields, and indoor and outdoor tennis courts.

Comprising 13 athletic teams, the CSI Dolphins have garnered 67 CUNY Conference Championships since 1976, with many teams advancing to national tournaments. As a true multi-purpose facility, the Center serves the community as a trade show and convention hall, while the top-flight recreational facilities are available to the public through affordable membership subscriptions.

The Sports & Recreation Center houses a 1,200 seat main hardwood arena, serving as the home of men’s and women’s basketball. The teams have thrived within its friendly confines, sporting a combined 199-90 (.689) record on its home floor. The Sports & Recreation Center has also been the home to three City University of New York Athletic Conference Postseason Championship Basketball Tournaments, including the 2005-06 tourney. When set up for practice, the main gymnasium houses a total of 14 basketball hoops, while the auxiliary gymnasium adjacent to the competition arena also features a full-length basketball court.

Located between locker rooms is the CSI competition 25-meter, eight-lane swimming pool, a favorite of students and members year-round. Also located on the first floor is an expansive weight room, complete with hydraulic weight-lifting machines and over 3,000 pounds of free weights. A turn of the corner finds one in the CSI Training Room, where student-athletes come for pre-game preparations, medical assessments and treatments, as well as rehabilitation exercises.

Coaches and administrative offices are located on the second floor as well as classroom and conference space. A cardiovascular room is also located along the upper concourse, housing treadmills, stationary bicycles and stair climbing machines.

Not to be outdone are CSI’s lot of terrific outdoor facilities. Directly parallel to the Sports & Recreation Center lies the CSI Tennis Center, home to both CSI Dolphins tennis teams. The Center features six domed and six outdoor courts allowing for quality practice and play.

A complete FieldTurf soccer field serves as CSI’s competition field for intercollegiate events, while a regulation-sized grass field enclosed by a quarter-mile track is also available. A 2,500-seat baseball complex, located near the center of campus, was the former home of the Staten Island Yankees, the Class-A affiliate of Major League Baseball’s New York Yankees, and is now home to the Dolphins baseball squad.

Adjacent to the CSI Baseball Complex is the CSI Softball Complex, which features a FieldTurf surface in the outfield, and the promise of outdoor lighting in the near future.

With some of the finest facilities in the New York City metro area, located on a sprawling 204-acre campus, the College of Staten Island is the place where an outstanding education meets a dynamic athletics program.
