North Campus is a mostly residential section of Cornell University's main campus in Ithaca, New York. It includes the neighborhoods located north of Fall Creek. All freshmen are housed on North Campus as part of Cornell's common first-year experience and residential initiatives.[1]
North Campus is principally connected to Central Campus via the Thurston Avenue Bridge over Fall Creek, commonly called the Triphammer Bridge owing to its location above Triphammer Falls, formed by the Beebe Lake Dam. Two pedestrian-only bridges cross to the east: the Triphammer Footbridge connects to Forest Home Drive north of Martha Van Rensselaer Hall, and on the far side of Beebe Lake, the Sackett Footbridge to Forest Home Drive on the north end of the Cornell Botanic Gardens. To the west, the pedestrian-only Suspension Bridge connects the Cornell Heights neighborhood to University Avenue just north of the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, and the Stewart Avenue Bridge conveys Stewart Avenue across the gorge directly above Ithaca Falls.
