Hunter Floor Plan, Debate Floor

Hunter Building The Hunter Conservatory is the home of the Rhetoric and Public Address Department. After a major remodel, the building re-opened in late July 1998 and was given a nice touchup during the summer of 2005. The building features the latest digital film equipment, computer technology, handsome woodwork throughout, and a beautiful atrium in its spacious foyer. To the left is the "Debate Floor" of Hunter. You can see Jim's Office at the top. It's a hangout for the forensics team and where the student assistant works as well. Walk down the hall, overlooking the three story atrium in the middle of the building, and go to the Policy Prep Room. It's the office for our Policy assistant and has six computers each with scanners, and a 55 page per minute HP Laser printer. Next door, in the Parli-IE Prep Room, there are six more computers and storage cabinets. Students can walk to the Storage room for supplies such as toner cartridge. In the Portable Prep Room at the end of the hall, evidence is distributed, students can work and engage in practice debates and research. Going the other direction from Jim's office, there is the "Cove," where we keep old debate tubs, visual aid display holders, and other backfiles. There's an elevator there too--that goes to ground level right next to a driveway. Students can now bring their tubs, luggage, etc. to the debate rooms with ease because the elevator is so close to where the van parks!
