All iSchool students develop excellent communication and presentation skills and use those skills to showcase their class projects.
The Carrier Dome is home to the NCAA Division I Syracuse Orange football, lacrosse, and basketball, and is the site for many annual University events, including convocation and commencement ceremonies.

Team projects and group oriented class work are common in many iSchool courses. As a result, many students find themselves more engaged in course topics, while at the same time developing and fine tuning their collaboration skills which are an essential asset in modern information technology environments.

Originally built in 1955 to house the College of Engineering, renovations began in summer 2003 to completely overhaul the building to suit the techie and collaborative needs of the iSchool.
