Sunday, December 2 at 8:30pm

Produced by Digital Media Arts majors Kirsten Jahn ‘07 and Scott Richardson ‘09, the documentary traces the history of the building, its architectural and social significance, and the efforts of the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation to bring the building back to life.

The Canisius College Video Institute provides students with the opportunity to put their classroom lessons to work on projects that will benefit the college and the community at large. Students produce documentaries and promotional videos for local and international not-for-profit and service agencies that otherwise would not have the resources to tell their stories in this way.

The Canisius College Video Institute is funded in part by the John R. Oishei Foundation and directed by Barbara Irwin, PhD, chair of the Communication Studies Department.

Remember, if you like what you see you can purchase the DVD from our webstore.

A visitor from Toronto on Doors Open weekend sent in the following comment…

I just wanted to say “Thank You” to the Buffalo Central Terminal crew for opening up the building on Doors Open weekend. I was visiting from Toronto, and the terminal was the highlight of the weekend. We had the chance to talk with a very nice lady, and young man who were manning the merchandise booth, and we learned a lot.

Keep up the good work, and I am looking forward to coming back to the Terminal for some of your events.

All the best
