“We understand that the normal look and feel and travel around campus has changed as we worked on different areas on campus. We appreciate everyone’s patience for these temporary alterations, because once completed, our campus will be even better.”

Advancements are not slowing down as Alfred State College (ASC) continues to move forward with multiple construction projects to enhance and beautify the campus. ASC has an ambitious slate of $100 million dollars of improvements underway. 

“We understand that the normal look and feel and travel around campus has changed as we worked on different areas on campus,” stated Alfred State President Dr. Steve Mauro. “We appreciate everyone’s patience for these temporary alterations, because once completed, our campus will be even better.”

The most noticeable project currently underway is the road widening and infrastructure project. In completed areas, visitors will notice wider roads and sidewalks that will make car and foot travel safer.

Under the surface, the college is installing new water lines, upgrading sewer and storm water lines, and installing new electrical and fiber conduits. Connected to this project is the addition of a second water tower and the building of a water treatment plant.

Plans for planting flowers, trees, and bushes are being made to add beauty to campus once construction on the road and sidewalks is completed.

The MacKenzie North construction project is nearing completion as well while the college is in final planning stages for the renovation of the Agriculture Science Building that is also home to the student-responsive financial aid offices known for tailoring aid packages for current and prospective families.

Over the summer the college beautified the Hinkle Bell Tower area in time for both the bell tower and MacKenzie Residential Complex to celebrate 50 years during the Homecoming and Family Weekend.

Dr. Mauro is excited for visitors to see all the changes. “I encourage past Pioneers to join us for Homecoming on Oct. 12 through 15 or future Pioneers to join us for one of our upcoming Open House programs either Oct. 21 or Nov. 5.”
