The campus
Office and service buildings

Classroom buildings
Eisenhart Hall is the oldest classroom building on campus. A major renovation was completed in April 2006, including a new geothermal heating system, as it previously was poorly climate controlled, and now also houses a SUNY Plattsburgh lecture hall. This building teaches primarily social science classes: psychology, sociology, history, and political science, though other classes are taught here as well.
Washington Hall is next to Eisenhart Hall and is home to nursing labs, the radio station (WGFR), the television studio (for instructional use), a video editing lab, photography labs and darkroom, and a Mac lab for graphic design/media arts students.
Dearlove Hall houses the math lab, the center for reading and writing (CRW) and the learning specialist's office. The offices of most English and Math professors are located in the basement of this hall. Art, language arts, and mathematics courses are pimarily taught in this building. There is also an art gallery and a small lecture hall.
