The main campus occupies a quad near the center of Cornell, comprising an academic building, a research building, an extension building, a conference center, and a library. Ives Hall, named after '''ILR''' founding dean [[Irving Ives]], is the academic building and is divided into a classroom/student wing and a faculty wing. The student wing houses separate lounges for undergraduate and graduate students. Also on the quad is the [[Martin P. Catherwood Library]], which is one of only two official depository libraries of the [[International Labour Organization]] (the other being the [[Library of Congress]]). The ILR Conference Center, with its distinctive [[bell tower|belfry]] atop, hosts special training sessions and recruiting events and offices for the [[United Auto Workers]]. The research building houses the Scheinman Institute on Conflict Resolution as well as offices for the ''[[ILR Review]]''. The extension building, renamed Dolgen Hall in 2008, houses the Yang Tan Institute.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/news/122208_YearInReview.html|title=ILR in 2008|publisher=Cornell University|accessdate=2010-12-18}}</ref> All of these buildings are owned by New York State on land that Cornell conveyed to the state.
