Clinton Community College Transition
Clinton Community College has officially relocated to SUNY Plattsburgh’s main campus. As of August 25, 2025, Clinton is fully operational and offering classes in their new location.
The relocation marks a significant step forward in preserving and strengthening access to public higher education in Clinton County. CCC’s presence on the SUNY Plattsburgh campus supports long-term financial stability, protects accreditation, and ensures continued enrollment opportunities for North Country students.
This collaborative transition has involved months of planning and coordination across both institutions, with a shared focus on supporting students, faculty, and staff through every phase of the move. Together, CCC and SUNY Plattsburgh remain committed to providing high-quality, affordable, and accessible education for the region.
More information and updates can be found on the Clinton Community College website.

- Nursing Lab will move into Hawkins 027. Costume shop currently located in Hawkins 027 will be moved to Myers Room 226
- September 2024
CCC will begin delivery of academic programming in fall 2025. Key factors for co-location: declining CCC enrollment, MSCHE accreditation, budget/financial strength. As of now, CCC enrollment increased this fall by 52 students and CCC has submitted mandatory monitoring report to MSCHE with a site visit to follow sometime this month.
- SUNY Plattsburgh will vacate Redcay Hall and 133 Court Street after May 17, 2025.
To accomplish this move-out, departments and unit faculty/staff have been in conversations
with academic affairs, enrollment and student success (ESS) and campus facilities
(A&F) since last May to identify new space for their operations. These collaborative
discussions have been designed to determine specific space needs, necessary renovations,
and/or space upgrades to best support the department’s operations.
- A phased timeline for CCC occupancy may be possible if the newly renovated SUNY Plattsburgh
spaces become available before May 17, and some of our departments are agreeable and
able to move sooner than May 17, 2025. For example, the GWS department has already
moved to Hawkins 102.
- At this time, A&F, ESS and academic affairs are developing project completion timelines with the criminal justice, anthropology, sociology, Center for the Study of Canada, and admissions departments. The process involves engagement with the Plattsburgh CCC Transition Team and team members working directly with representatives from each department and program area that will be relocating.
Current rundown on relocation spaces:
- Anthropology: Beaumont, 3rd floor
- Criminal Justice Criminology: Ward, 2nd floor
- Gender and Women’s Studies: Hawkins, Suite 102 (upgrades completed, move completed)
- Sociology: Beaumont, 4th floor
- Center for the Study of Canada: Walk-thru with Canadian Studies and Capital Planning & Construction Expeditionary Studies house on Broad Street scheduled for Fri., Sept. 6, 2024.
- Expeditionary Studies House: Beaumont, 2nd floor (offices). A&F continues to finalize storage space in Beaumont basement.
- Additionally, the CCC nursing lab will move into Hawkins 027. The SUNY Plattsburgh costume shop currently in Hawkins 027 will relocate to Myers.
Capital Planning & Construction Team and SUNY Plattsburgh ITS are currently evaluating needs for these new academic spaces, considering existing conditions of flooring, ceiling and walls and lighting. ITS is checking existing data/phone/network conditions and needs.
- There remains ongoing work to identify additional instructional spaces for CCC (in addition to Redcay/Court Street) — nursing, science lab and art/drawing spaces. No decisions have been finalized to date. This work remains in progress, and is being informed by Holly Heller-Ross and the joint coordinating committee.
- Teams of academic faulty from arts and sciences are reviewing surplus academic equipment on CCC campus to identify any that we may want to acquire at SUNY Plattsburgh. Art review is completed and initial sciences review is scheduled for Sept. 4. Once items are identified, their relocation to our campus will be coordinated.
- SUNY Plattsburgh will vacate Redcay Hall and 133 Court Street after May 17, 2025.
