Facilities

SUNY Morrisville is investing in new and renovated experiential learning facilities, including a $16 million Agricultural and Clean Energy Technology (ACET) Center.

The anaerobic methane digester, housed at the dairy complex, is sized to treat manure from around 400 milking cows and generate about 350,000 kWh per year from the recovered biogas. The system is paired with a 50 kW engine/generator set with a heat recovery system.

Join us for viewing our facilities through an in-person or virtual. The Aquaculture Center serves as our primary site for applied experiential learning. The Aquaculture Center includes:

An exciting place you can explore year-round is our campus arboretum, a three-acre preserve behind Brooks Hall. The attractive setting, developed more than 75 years ago, contains nearly 100 native, exotic and ornamental tree and shrub species and is a living learning laboratory for students, as well as a quiet place to study.

The SUNY Morrisville Dairy Complex is a free-stall dairy facility which houses 200 milking cows and is used for teaching, demonstration, and student projects. It is equipped with an electronically-enhanced milking parlor and a student-managed computer system. Also featuring two heifer barns, a calf barn and a show barn, the facility is entirely serviced by a plug-flow anaerobic digester that processes animal waste and produces electrical power.

Set up as a real-world auto body shop, you will perform live laboratory work and help staff a parts department and live service desk to gain experience with repairs, refinishing and estimating.

Our Automotive Technology Building, a 50,000-square-foot facility replicating an auto dealership, also provides true-to-life experiences through numerous repair stations and a new vehicle showroom. The technologically sophisticated environment features the latest in new vehicle diagnostic equipment and offers:

One of the first campus buildings you see as you head towards campus from Route 20 is Bailey Annex, home to college’s Nursing Department and the SUNY Morrisville Children’s Center.

Originally a residence hall, the renovated Brooks Hall currently houses the college’s Office of Communications & Marketing, the Office of Human Resources, University Police and Madison County Tourism, Inc. Brooks Hall is located on the north side of Route 20, just as you arrive to campus heading west.
