The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences is located in two centers on the Cornell campus. Bradfield Hall is an integral part of the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences. Snee Hall is on the boundary between the Engineering Quad and Collegetown, the hub of student off-campus activity.
These physical homes also house our undergraduate program offices, graduate program offices, and most of our affiliated research centers.

One other affiliated facility has a large impact on Cornell's program in Earth & Atmospheric Sciences: the Paleontological Research Institute. Known throughout the world of paleontologists and malecologists for its fossil and shell collections, the broad public also enjoys the dynamic and modern Museum of the Earth. Some Cornell classes conduct study and research using the PRI facilities.
Large rock specimens from many parts of eastern North America are also displayed in three rock parks, donated by the Bender Family. In addition to serving as examples for formal EAS courses, these rock specimens introduce everyone in the Cornell community to the variety and beauty of rock.
