2015 CAMPUS STATEMENT
Originally founded in 1906, as the School of Agriculture at St. Lawrence University, SUNY Canton is the first postsecondary, two-year college in New York authorized by the Legislature. In 1987, the University's Board of Trustees authorized the College's present designation as State University of New York College of Technology at Canton. In 1997, SUNY Canton received baccalaureate degree granting approval from the SUNY Board of Trustees and the New York State Governor, beginning a new era of growth for the College. Perfectly suited as a learning environment, the College is comprised of 382 acres located in a semi-rural setting along the Grasse River in St. Lawrence County. The College is comprised of 22 major buildings that fit well into the surrounding landscape. Academic facilities include five classroom buildings, which contain many specialized labs for practice in applied- and technology-based disciplines. Augmenting the academic facilities are five residential buildings in addition to the dining center, campus center, athletic center, and library nestled into the hillside overlooking the Grasse River.
During the 2014-15 academic year, total enrollment was 3696. Including Summer Session and Winter Term supplementary semesters, the College's total enrollment was 4845. This represents a 53% growth from 2003-2004 when total enrollment was 3163. A number of factors contribute to the College’s growth. Students learn from faculty who possess both outstanding academic credentials and sound technical experience. Dedicated to providing varied educational opportunities within the technologies and sciences, SUNY Canton now offers 23 majors leading to Bachelor degrees, 21 associate degrees and 5 one-year professional certificate programs. With the Bachelor's degree programs, students are now staying longer than when the school exclusively offered Associate degrees and former students are returning to earn their four-year degrees. SUNY Canton Online continues to experience dramatic growth as well. SUNY Canton On Line features more than 200 courses online each semester and 10 Bachelor’s degrees are available online, allowing students to enroll from anywhere with Internet access.
In 2007, the College's athletic teams joined the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), enabling students to compete in their respective sports for four years. Recently the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III Management Council announced that SUNY Canton has officially completed its provisional membership process and will become full-time members of NCAA Division III, effective September 1, 2015. In the past four years, SUNY Canton has added five new sports to their athletics program offerings. The College sponsors intercollegiate teams in men's and women's soccer; men's and women's cross country; women's volleyball; men's golf; men's and women's ice hockey; men's and women's basketball; men's baseball; women's softball; and men's and women's lacrosse.
Recent improvements to facilities include the ongoing renovation of Cook Hall, portions of Chaney Dining Hall, completion of CARC Site & Field Improvements project, replacement of roofs, fascia, soffit, insulating materials and exterior lighting at French Hall and Southworth Library and initial phase of interior rehab in Heritage Hall. Several minor rehab and repair projects are ongoing to address deteriorated interior and exterior conditions as well as mechanical systems for energy efficiency. In 2007, the College completed a Master Plan and in 2012 the College, in cooperation with the State University Construction Fund (SUCF), completed a more comprehensive Facilities Master Plan to further guide growth through the year 2023. The College continues to work with the New York State Power Authority (NYPA) to complete an Energy Master Plan. Combined, the findings and
recommendations of these documents are utilized as a guide to address / prioritize the College’s needs. In coordination with SUCF, the College is moving forward with various projects including replacement of utilities such as fuel storage system, natural gas mains, water mains and site lighting; rehab of stone veneer retaining walls, replacement of building envelope at Dana Hall, Payson Hall and Cooper Service Building, replacement of mechanical systems at Chaney Dining Hall and moderate renovations to space in Wicks Hall to support the academic mission of the Nursing program. In future SUNY capital budget requests, continued renovations of Chaney Dining Hall, Dana Hall and Payson Hall remain among the College’s priorities.
