The complex at the renovated Archbold Gymnasium is designed as a hub for student services that will provide “holistic support with comprehensive medical care, wellness resources and mental-health support,” Syracuse University said in a news release.

“The new Barnes Center at The Arch will be a welcoming, engaging space for all students to find assistance, whether they need a health checkup, mental health counseling, assistance in times of crisis or a place to work out,” Rob Hradsky, senior associate VP of the student experience and dean of students, said in the Syracuse release.
It is located near the Kenneth A. Shaw Quadrangle, which is also known as the Quad.
The Barnes Center at The Arch follows a $5 million donation from Steven Barnes, a Syracuse alumnus who chairs the school’s board of trustees, and his wife, Deborah. They believe a center of coordinated services would “benefit” students and the campus community.
The school announced the Barnes donation in a May 19, 2017 news release on the school’s news website.
