Alfred State is excited to embark on another construction project to make campus better for you. Pioneer Center is slated to begin a $16.1M renovation that upgrades everything from the fitness center to adding a new student dining experience inside the building, along with some less exciting but critically needed mechanical upgrades.  Beginning at Thanksgiving break, the small lot in front of Pioneer (37) where the food truck is parked will be closed and fenced to stage for the project’s start.

We appreciate your patience as we renovate your space to improve it for your enjoyment, and look forward to project completion a year later in early 2027.
