Hubbard Interfaith Sanctuary
Saint Rose was founded in 1920 by the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Carondelet as a Roman Catholic College for women. Today the college is an independent, coeducational college of liberal arts and sciences with over 5,000 undergraduate and graduate students. In 1994, the College discussed the need to build a new "sacred space" for the college community. Considering the changes that had occurred at Saint Rose and in the world since 1920, the College decided to build an interfaith space.
On the northwestern side of the Sanctuary is the Catholic Christian prayer room. This space celebrates the College's heritage as a Roman Catholic College. There are visible stained glass windows from a residence hall on campus that once housed a community of Christian Brothers. On the northeastern side of the Sanctuary there is interfaith prayer room. The prayer books of the major non-Christian traditions are here. Members of the College community from the Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist and Muslim traditions can go there for private prayer. The room faces east toward Mecca and Jerusalem for Muslim and Jewish prayer. Prayer rugs are available for Muslim prayer.
Campus Ministry
The Campus Ministry Office works to support the members of the College community as they consider the meaning of religion and spirituality in their lives.
The Office of Campus Ministry offers programs in a number of areas:
- Prayer and Worship opportunities—weekly Roman Catholic liturgies, prayer services (interfaith, ecumenical, and specific to a particular denomination or season of the year), publications offering information on local faith communities, celebrations of sacred seasons and holidays, retreat programs, guided meditation and relaxation programs for stress reduction
- Informal gatherings to build community and form connections among students and between students and the Spiritual Life staff
- Programs geared toward education, dialogue and faith sharing
- Volunteer opportunities where the links between faith and service are explored in the context of social justice for all peoples.
A Green College
The College of Saint Rose in conjunction with other capital region colleges and universities signed a pact to reduce their carbon footprint and continue to pursue environmentally friendly policies. McCormick Hall is a sustainability house that holds 14 co ed students that holds programs with a focus on sustainability. Students must apply to live in this residence hall.
The Massry Center for the Arts
This Massry Center features the Kathleen McManus Picotte Recital Hall, the Esther Massry Gallery, and the William Randolph Hearst Music Wing, the Massry Center for the Arts serves as the primary venue for concerts and exhibitions by the College'’s students and faculty each year, and a performance and exhibition space for talented artists, musicians, vocalists and orchestras from around the world.
It is one of the college's most recent and major attempts at building green. Some of the green features of the Massry Center are:
- Extra layers of insulation made from shredded trees and paper is sustainable, adds more protection from heat transfer and reduces energy costs
- heating and cooling rely on geothermal systems that use constant underground temperatures to control climate.
- Daylight harvesting system automatically turns off or dims artificial lights based on amount of natural light in building
- White and sloped roofs reduce the"heat island" effect, by minimizing absorption of sun's rays.
- Construction materials include 97% recycled drywall, 70 to 90% recycled steek and metal studs, and 18% recycled concrete. Site materials are recycled, reducing the amount of waste at land fills.
- Building location on bus lines encourage public transportation. Special parking will be available for hybrid and low emission vehicles. Bike racks will encourage bicycle travel.
- Double paned windows all for open ventilation, reduce heat loss or gain.
- Shades in classroom automatic rise or descend based on light availability.
- The Massry as of January 2010 has received a LEED gold award being titled one of the most energy efficient buildings in the capital region.[6][7]
