Rochester Campus Approved for Move to Town of Brighton
Medaille College has received approval from the Town of Brighton Planning Board for a special use permit, allowing construction to begin on a new Rochester Campus, with a move to a South Winton Road location as early as mid-June 2009.
The new campus will contain nine classrooms, each with a capacity of 24 students, and each with its own technology package. A 700-square foot library will include computer workstations, and a multi-purpose room will provide space for meetings and workshops of up to 60 people.
“Medaille’s relocation to the Town of Brighton is a reinvestment in the campus and an investment that will contribute to economic growth in the Rochester region,” says Medaille College President Richard T. Jurasek, Ph.D. “We’re developing new degrees with the needs of adult students in mind, and this larger facility will support those expanded programs and larger student base.”
“Like our current site, the Brighton location will be close to Rochester’s Outer Loop (Rtes. 390/590), keeping it convenient for current and future students who travel to class after work,” says Dr. Jenifer Bavifard, executive director for the Accelerated Learning Program. “The design of each classroom and inclusion of technology will give faculty more options when developing lessons and will be planned to accommodate adult learners.”
Since Medaille College opened its Rochester Campus in 2002, over 400 graduates have received associate, bachelor’s or master’s degrees in business through the Accelerated Learning Program. These degrees are designed to allow adult students to complete a degree through a flexible, interactive and cohort-based structure.
