Schenectady County Community College was established by the Schenectady County Board of Representatives on January 26, 1967. The Van Curler Hotel was purchased by the County and designated as the site for the College. After extensive renovations, classes began in September 1969. The building was subsequently renamed Elston Hall in honor of Charles W. Elston, an original member of the Board of Trustees who served as chairperson for eight years. Elston Hall houses classrooms, science and culinary laboratories, the Casola Dining Room, meeting rooms and offices. New construction to enlarge the campus was completed in 1978. A multi-purpose building houses the Begley Library, including a media center and a TV studio with satellite viewing capabilities. Connected to the library is a music wing, designed to meet the specific needs of students in nationally accredited music programs, and the Carl B. Taylor Community Auditorium. In 1982, the Tempo Building was constructed providing over 8,000 square feet of space for four classrooms, the Office of Continuing Education, business and industry training and other special programs. The campus was further enhanced in 1987 when the Center for Science and Technology opened. This unique facility houses the College’s physics and chemistry laboratories as well as specialized laboratory facilities for electrical technology and computer science. A campus development project was completed in 1992 that added a new student center including a cafeteria, college store, student lounge and recreational space, biology and geology laboratories and fifteen classrooms. The South Wing addition added four new culinary arts laboratories, an expanded restaurant facility, and a child care center. An enclosed pedestrian bridge connecting Elston Hall with the Center for Science and Technology was also added. The College has increased the number of electronic classrooms with Internet access, multimedia teaching stations and student access to computers. Additionally, a new state-of-the-art instructional technology/ video conferencing center has been developed in the Begley Library. A five-year, $11 million dollar Master Plan has brought further enhancements to the campus. The Gateway Building, opened in March 2000, houses early childhood development classes, labs, and a child care center. The Stockade Building, a new three-story academic facility, opened in fall 2001. This building includes six computer classrooms, nine general classrooms, two lecture halls, conference rooms and offices for the Continuing Education Division and Capital District World Trade Center. There is an enclosed walkway linking Elston Hall and the Begley Building with the Stockade Building. The College’s new quad area is a focal point for students, faculty and staff to socialize. Further campus enhancements to Elston Hall are also planned. A new five year Master Plan will be implemented which may include an Elston Hall Culinary Wing expansion, Begley Building Music/Drama Wing expansion campus expansion across Washington Avenue and student housing.
