One of the most striking features of the Women’s Christian College campus is its tree cover. Stepping through the gates of the college, any visitor to the college is undoubtedly struck by the numerous trees that line both sides of the driveway. WCC displays an astonishing diversity of trees, with more than 100 species of native and exotic trees growing in the campus.
Trees are a part of the history of the college, as well as an indisputable part of the sentiment that students and faculty attach to the institution. The magnificent Tabebuia rosea near the clock tower was planted by the first Principal of the college in 1915. It is the oldest tree on campus and is a witness to campus history. Alumni recognize that their emotional connection to their alma mater often is manifest in an appreciation for the trees. Students experience the first thrills of college life in May-June, when the flowers of the college tree, Peltophorum pterocarpum coat the ground a bright and welcoming yellow – gold. The college campus is painted in varying hues of colours all through the year, with cannonball trees that burst with brilliantly vibrant shades of red leaves, the Rosy Trumpet trees displaying their abundance of pale pink-white blooms, and the Crepe Myrtle tree beside the wicket close to the Information resource Centre with pretty mauve-coloured flowers and the tiny purple blossoms of Tree of Life (Guaiacum officinale) among the many other flowering trees.
Aside from the sentimental and historical value that it attaches to the trees, WCC’s environmental consciousness is also manifest in its care of trees. Carbon dioxide neutrality is maintained on the campus by planting different varieties of trees and plants.
The green campus concept is aimed at enabling the college to redefine its environmental culture and developing new paradigms by creating sustainable solutions to the environmental, social and economic needs of mankind. With this in mind, tree planting is an on-going process on campus to enhance greenery. A tree-planting drive was organised to commemorate the centenary year of the institution (2015-2016), and 100 trees were planted on campus.
The Information Resource Centre, the erstwhile library was initially located in the upper floor of Doveton House with the collection of donated books by friends of the college. Mrs. James Sidney Allen, President of the American Association Board, laid the foundation stone of the new library building on 28th January, 1966 and a time capsule,the second of its kind in WCC with the signatures of staff and students, buried in the foundation. The American Associate Board and the UGC helped with funds for this project, and the alumnae of Mount Holyoke College generously equipped the library with books, periodicals and journals.
Currently, the 91345 sq.mt library building of 420 seating capacity houses 92000 plus print documents and wide range of e-resources. The library works from 7.30am to 6.00pm on all working days and is open for all students and staff of the college. Apart from the required standard infrastructure, the library is Wi-Fi enabled, and has a fully automated Library Management System with bar-code/RFID facility.
The Canteen functions from 07.30 a.m. to 06.00 p.m. Healthy food options are available in the canteen. No credit account is permitted at the eateries. Cutlery should not be taken out of the Canteen.
An Extension Counter of the Indian Overseas Bank, College Road branch and an ATM, caters to the needs of the students on campus on all working days between 10.30 a.m. and 3.00 p.m. Resident students are encouraged to open an account with the bank.
