The facility features state-of-the-art amenities such as garde manger, production and demonstration kitchens, a fully equipped beverage lab for mixology classes, a full-dining room, a state-of-the-art lecture hall for cooking demonstrations, high-tech classroom space, and more. Originally built in 1903 in the Classical Beaux-Arts style, the building contains many historic touches, from the plaster to the painstakingly restored woodwork, a terrazzo floor with a Grecian key pattern, and two faux fireplaces in the main-floor student lounge.
SUNY Broome President Kevin E. Drumm will be available from 10 to 11 a.m. Jan. 27 in the Culinary and Event Center for media interviews on the first day of class. A grand opening ceremony is scheduled for 5 p.m. April 2, 2020.
