Cayuga County Community College
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaCayuga Community College is a two year SUNY college in Cayuga County, New York. The college began in 1953 as Auburn Community College. Its main campus is in Auburn, New York. The college also serves Oswego County with its branch campus in Fulton, New York.
The college offers associate degrees. There are approximately 4,000 full-time and part-time students. Degree programs include liberal arts for transfer preparation, computer science, criminal justice, broadcasting, art, nursing, geographic information systems, and education.
History
On April 9, 1953, the State University of New York (SUNY) Board of Trustees approved the establishment of a community college in Auburn under the sponsorship of the Auburn City School District. Auburn Community College opened its doors the following September in the former James Street Elementary School. It was the first community college developed entirely after the establishment of SUNY. When Cayuga County assumed sponsorship for the College in July 1975, the name was officially changed to Cayuga County Community College.
Sixty-nine students formed the first freshman class. They joined acting president Charles G. Hetherington, Ph.D., and the charter faculty in ushering in a new era of higher education for Central New York.
To accommodate a rising student population, the College moved in 1959 to the current Auburn campus on Franklin Street in the city of Auburn. Later construction added a cluster of facilities around the original classroom building, now known as the main building: the library (1964), the technology building (1970), the bookstore (1971), Spartan Hall (1980), and the nature center (1983).
A $6.5 million capital project for construction, renovation and remodeling—including the “link,” bridging the main and technology buildings—from 1989 to 1991 carried Cayuga into the 1990s.
In 1994, with the opening of the Fulton Campus, the College expanded its operations to branch out to Oswego County residents.
The most recent major capital project, totaling $10.3 million, was undertaken in 2000. Approximately half that amount provided for further upgrades to the Auburn campus for energy efficiency, online technology, classroom renovations, parking capacity, and space usage, while $5.1 million funded the construction of the new Regional Economic Center.
