School Notes
Genesee Community College opened in September of 1967, and moved to
its permanent campus in January of 1972. The main campus is located
northeast of Batavia near the New York State Thruway. Genesee's
buildings are connected to form a mall-like, all-indoor college
campus with ample parking, playing fields and tennis courts on
College grounds. Fifty-seven classrooms, laboratories and computer
labs, TV, video, photography and art studios, a 75,000-volume
library, a learning center, student lounges, conference rooms,
administration offices, a cafeteria, a child-care center; a fitness
center, a health center, a gymnasium and a pool are all housed
under one massive roof. The College is located outside the Upstate
New York city of Batavia and nestled amid the scenic villages and
farmland of the Genesee Region. Our main campus is located on 240
acres of gently rolling land situated in the quiet countryside. We
offer day and evening classes at our Campus Centers located in
Albion, Arcade, Lakeville, Warsaw and Dansville. Although we're a
small college (about 4,000 full-time and part-time students) we've
been able to bring to Genesee many of the top-notch programs you'd
ordinarily expect to see only at large universities.
