英文介紹
Jersey City University (NJCU) is a public university in Jersey City, New Jersey, USA. It is a member of the New Jersey Association of State Colleges and Universities.
New Jersey City University is known to be one of the least expensive universities in New Jersey.
Opened in 1929 as the New Jersey State Normal School at Jersey City, the institution was renamed New Jersey State Teachers College at Jersey City in 1935 and Jersey City State College in 1958, becoming a liberal arts college in 1968. In 1998, the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education approved a change of institutional status and accepted the present name.
Campus
The university's main campus is located on 2039 Kennedy Boulevard Jersey City, New Jersey 07305-1597. Originally known by the name Jersey City State. The oldest building on the campus is Hepburn Hall. Designed by Guilbert and Betelle and completed in 1930, the Gothic structure serves as the symbol of the university and features prominently in the school's publications. A new seven-story Arts and Sciences building designed by architect Michael Graves, known by many of the students on campus as "The Crayola Building", is at the center of the campus. The 77,000-square-foot (7,200 m) building, which replaced for Grossnickle Hall houses 14 classrooms, 10 computer labs, faculty offices for nine departments, and the Office of the Dean of Arts and Sciences. The Fine Arts building on Culver Avenue features a Maya Lin sculpture in the entrance garden area. There are also renovated buildings on West Side Avenue that are part of the school, including the West Side Theater, used theatrical productions and community events. Another houses the Business Development Incubator program. The University's Athletic Complex is located near Hackensack RiverWalk on Droyer's Point at Newark Bay. Between these facilities and the main campus, construction has begun on the new "West Campus" between West Side Avenue and Bayfront on Route 440 that will more than double the campus's total area. The West Campus will include academic buildings, residences, retail spaces, parking, and a "University Promenade."
