Campus Setting
Binghamton is centrally located in New York State, approximately 45 miles from Ithaca, 70 miles from Syracuse, and about 200 miles from both New York City and Philadelphia. Interstate highways I-81, I-88, as well as NY 17/I-86 pass through the city, providing convenient regional access.
Binghamton, Endicott, and Johnson City comprise the “Triple Cities”, an urban metropolitan area that offers cultural opportunities along with easily accessible outdoor recreational. Major regional employers include Avangrid/NYSEG, Broome County, Guthrie Hospital, Lockheed Martin, The Raymond Corporation, United Health Services, 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 approximately three miles north of Binghamton on Upper Front Street (Route 11) adjacent to Interstate 81. The campus includes 15 buildings with approximately 600,000 square feet of space supporting instructional, laboratory, administrative, and student service functions. Facilities include classrooms, specialized instructional laboratories, computer laboratories, and offices supporting the College’s academic programs and services. The campus is landscaped with a variety of trees and open green spaces, and four buildings face a central quadrangle. Instructional programs are supported by classrooms, laboratories, equipment, and specialized facilities appropriate to the curriculum.
The College maintains a library that provides access to print and electronic collections, research assistance, and study space to support instruction and student learning. Student gathering spaces and student support areas are available across campus, including areas used for student activities and campus events. Institution-operated dining facilities provide food service for students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
SUNY Broome’s Culinary & Event Center (CEC), located in downtown Binghamton, houses the College’s Hospitality programs and includes specialized instructional facilities such as teaching kitchens, a garde manger kitchen, bartending, beverage laboratories, a lecture hall, and event spaces used for instruction and community events. The historic building was originally funded by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie in 1904 and served as the Binghamton Library for 96 years.
Information about campus facilities, library services, student spaces, dining services, and hours of operation, including holiday and vacation schedules, is published on the SUNY Broome website and in the College catalog.
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 assets totaling nearly $54 million which support its programs and activities.
