Work Starts on $60 Million Binghamton University Lecture Hall

Construction is underway on a long-awaited new lecture hall complex on the main Binghamton University campus in Vestal.

Work at the site east of Bunn Hill Road began several weeks ago.

The university received a state allocation of $60 million in 2022 for the design and construction of the new facility.

The new 50,000-square-foot academic building will include three lecture halls, three computer classrooms and a 100-seat "active learning" classroom.

The complex also will have 33 general purpose classrooms ranging in size from 20 to 75 seats. It will have several testing rooms and a commons area will group study rooms.

According to the university, the project will add a total of more than 1,900 seats to the Vestal campus.

Hueber-Breuer Construction Company of Syracuse is the general contractor for the job.

The new building will not replace Binghamton University's current lecture hall facility.
