The Rocky Top Student Center serves as the living room for the York Hill Campus. This lodge-inspired design, which uses 10 different types of wood, instantly transports students and community members with expansive vistas of New Haven and Long Island Sound. It is easy to marvel at the attention to detail in every aspect of the Rocky Top Student Center as students are surrounded by 293 representations of the Quinnipiac mascot.
