Campus Setting
Binghamton is centrally located in the State of New York, 45 miles from Ithaca, 70 miles from Syracuse, and about 200 miles from both New York City and Philadelphia. Routes I-81, I-88, and NY 17/I-86 pass through the city.
Binghamton, Endicott, and Johnson City make up the Triple Cities, an urban metropolitan area that offers a sophisticated cultural life along with easily accessible outdoor recreational opportunities. Major employers are United Health Services, Endicott Interconnect Technologies, Lourdes Hospital, IBM, Maines Paper and Food Service, Lockheed Martin, and Binghamton University (one of SUNY’s four University Centers, located a few miles from SUNY Broome).
SUNY Broome Community College’s campus is located three miles north of Binghamton on Upper Front Street, which is Route 11 alongside Interstate 81. The campus is landscaped with a variety of trees and open green spaces and has a hillside backdrop; four of its 15 buildings face a major quadrangle. The total campus building space is 600,000 square feet. A campus map is available on the About SUNY Broome portion of the College website.
The Culinary & Event Center (CEC) houses SUNY Broome’s popular Hospitality programs. This beautiful historic space was originally funded by famed philanthropist Andrew Carnegie in 1904. It housed the Binghamton Library for 96 years. Now, it includes state-of-the-art amenities such as special event spaces, a lecture hall, bartending and beverage labs, a garde manger kitchen and more.
SUNY Broome Community College Foundation
SUNY Broome Community College Foundation is a self-supporting not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation established in 1965 by BCC Trustees and community leaders. The Foundation’s primary purpose is to raise, invest, and administer private funds to benefit SUNY Broome Community College, its students, and its faculty. The Foundation’s top priority is to assist students with grants-in-aid and scholarships, but its charter also calls for assisting faculty and staff by helping fund their professional development and training, and providing the College with equipment, funding for special projects to improve campus facilities, and other items for which public funds are either insufficient or unavailable. The Foundation serves as the primary point of contact and conduit for all private gifts to the College. Gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
In addition to annual gifts from alumni, faculty, staff, students, business and industry, community friends, organizations and foundations, the Foundation has endowment and other funds of approximately $47 million which help support its programs and activities.
