The campus is situated on {{convert|575|acre|km2}} of land.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.colgate.edu/about/colgate-campus|title=Colgate Campus|date=September 2014|publisher=Colgate University|access-date=2014-09-09}}</ref> The university owns an additional {{convert|1100|acre|km2}} of undeveloped forested lands.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.colgate.edu/distinctly-colgate/sustainability/sustainability-council|title=Sustainability Council|publisher=Colgate University|access-date=2014-09-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140911002113/http://www.colgate.edu/distinctly-colgate/sustainability/sustainability-council|archive-date=2014-09-11|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Colgate's first building, West Hall, was built by students and faculty from stones from Colgate's own rock quarry. Nearly all the buildings on campus are built of stone, and newer buildings are built with materials that fit the style.<ref name="stoneworld">{{cite news|url=http://www.stoneworld.com/CDA/Articles/Feature_Article/BNP_GUID_9-5-2006_A_10000000000000618570|title=Colgate University Continues Tradition of Stone |last=Fisher|first=Alexis|date=2009-07-01|publisher=Stone World|access-date=2009-08-05}}</ref> [[Old Biology Hall]] (now renamed to Hascall Hall) was built in 1884 and added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1973.<ref name="nris">{{NRISref|2009a}}</ref> The principal campus plan was created by Ernest W.

Probably the most distinctive building on campus is Colgate Memorial Chapel, which was built in 1918 and is used for lectures, performances, concerts, and religious services.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.colgate.edu/extPopUp6.aspx?pgID=1700&bID=24|title=Colgate Memorial Chapel|publisher=Colgate University|access-date=2009-08-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100610122820/http://www.colgate.edu/extpopup6.aspx?pgID=1700&bID=24|archive-date=2010-06-10|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Most of the campus's heat is generated from a wood boiler which burns wood chips, a renewable resource.<ref name="Colgate: Heating Plant">{{cite web| title =Colgate: Heating Plant| publisher =Colgate University| url =http://www.colgate.edu/DesktopDefault1.aspx?tabid=4045| access-date = 2009-06-05 }}</ref> Almost all of Colgate's electricity comes from a hydroelectric dam at Niagara Falls; the rest comes from nuclear sources.<ref name="Distinctly Colgate: Renewable Energy Systems">{{cite web| title =Distinctly Colgate: Renewable Energy Systems| publisher =Colgate University| url =http://www.colgate.edu/distinctly-colgate/sustainability/climate-action-planning/renewable-energy| access-date =2009-06-05| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20130120012657/http://colgate.edu/distinctly-colgate/sustainability/climate-action-planning/renewable-energy| archive-date =2013-01-20| url-status =dead}}</ref> The campus also has a Green Bikes program with over two dozen bikes that are loaned out in an effort to encourage students to rely less on cars.<ref name="Distinctly Colgate: Sustainability">{{cite web| title =Distinctly Colgate: Sustainability| publisher =Colgate University| url =http://www.colgate.edu/distinctly-colgate/sustainability/climate-action-planning/sustainable-food-and-dining| access-date =2014-09-09| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20141011051636/http://www.colgate.edu/distinctly-colgate/sustainability/climate-action-planning/sustainable-food-and-dining| archive-date =2014-10-11| url-status =dead}}</ref> Colgate Dining Services currently provides organic rice, beans, and other dry foods, and is working to offer more local foods options.<ref name="Distinctly Colgate: Sustainable Food and Dining">{{cite web| title =Distinctly Colgate: Sustainable Food and Dining| publisher =Colgate University| url =http://www.colgate.edu/distinctly-colgate/sustainability/climate-action-planning/sustainable-food-and-dining| access-date =2014-09-09| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20141011051636/http://www.colgate.edu/distinctly-colgate/sustainability/climate-action-planning/sustainable-food-and-dining| archive-date =2014-10-11| url-status =dead}}</ref> Dining Services take-out containers are also made from natural materials, and are compostable.<ref name="Colgate: Successes">{{cite web| title =Colgate: Successes| publisher =Colgate University

=== Outreach ===
Colgate founded the Upstate Institute in 2003. The institute was created to connect the Colgate community to its surrounding region, as well as to give back and help economically and socially sustain the area. Currently, they do research on counties in the area, as well as support outreach and volunteer organizations.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://upstate.colgate.edu/ui-about.html |title=About Upstate |publisher=Upstate Institute |access-date=2009-07-27 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090130050247/http://upstate.colgate.edu/ui-about.html |archive-date=January 30, 2009 }}</ref>

Colgate was an initial sponsor of Partnership for Community Development,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.colgate.edu/DesktopDefault1.aspx?tabid=512|title=About Colgate: The Hamilton Area|publisher=Colgate University|access-date=2009-07-27}}</ref> a local nonprofit organization which seeks to support the community through the revitalization of buildings and small business development.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.partnersatwork.org/html/partners.html|title=History of the Partnership|publisher=Partnership for Community Development|access-date=2009-07-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080723231556/http://www.partnersatwork.org/html/partners.html|archive-date=2008-07-23|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Colgate administers Chapel House, a non-denominational retreat and meditation garden. Opened in 1959, the building was designed by [[Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill]] and is an example of late international-style modernism.<ref>{{Cite web| title = Chapel House| work = Colgate University| access-date = 2024-11-06| url = https://www.colgate.edu/about/campus-facilities/chapel-house}}</ref>

The Picker Art Gallery is a fine arts museum that is housed in the Dana Arts Center at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. It was named after Evelyn Picker, class of '36 and trustee emeritus, and opened in 1969.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.colgate.edu/campus-life/arts-on-campus/picker-art-gallery|title=Picker Art Gallery|work=colgate.edu}}</ref> The Museum houses 11,000-some art objects in its permanent collections. Highlights include old master paintings from Europe, woodblock prints from China and Japan, and a series of original photographs from famed Soviet wartime photographer [[Yevgeny Khaldei]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.colgate.edu/campus-life/arts-on-campus/picker-art-gallery/collections|title=Collections - Picker Art Gallery}}</ref> 

Since 2013, there have been plans to move the Picker collection to a new facility, which Colgate University has named the Center for Art and Culture.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.colgate.edu/2013/07/architect-david-adjaye-presents-design-for-center-for-art-and-culture.html|title=Architect David Adjaye presents design for Center for Art and Culture|work=Colgate University News}}</ref> 

====Exhibitions====
In 2013, the Picker Art Museum launched an online campaign to display works as a digital exhibition, their first being "Selected Old Masters From the Picker Art Gallery".<ref name="pickeroldmasters.omeka.net">{{cite web|url=http://pickeroldmasters.omeka.net|title=Selected Old Masters from the Picker Art Gallery|work=omeka.net|access-date=2014-04-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140413235824/http://pickeroldmasters.omeka.net/|archive-date=2014-04-13|url-status=dead}}</ref> Other than this online gallery, all exhibition, and educational programs have been temporarily ceased due to the university's thorough assessment of the works in anticipation for the move to the new Center for Arts and Culture.
