Catherine Commons is an apartment-style residential community for the Cornell University off-campus student population in the Collegetown district of Ithaca, New York. The project consists of six residential buildings located on two adjacent sites: Catherine North and Catherine South. Prominently lining the main artery of College Avenue and gracefully stepping down in height towards residential neighborhoods and the City of Ithaca, Catherine Commons includes studio, 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments with access to retail and recreational amenities including a fitness center and indoor and outdoor community courtyards.
