Morrisville is a small town, however a bus on a major route arrives and departs campus twice each day. The campus is situated on 150 acres (0.61 km2) of land with more than 48 buildings, several athletic fields and 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) of college-managed farm and woodland.

Norwich campus

A branch campus in Norwich, New York offers programs in business, technologies, liberal arts/education transfer, and nursing to Chenango area residents and employers.[2]

Morrisville Auxiliary Corporation

The Morrisville Auxiliary Corporation is a non-profit corporation that provides dining and other services to the Morrisville campus. As a separate corporation, it is not bound by the same rules that the State imposes on the SUNY schools themselves, namely it is not bound by the same level of openness that public institutions are required to maintain.[3]

Biofuels

The New York state senate awarded $4 million for the creation of the New York Center for Liquid Biofuels at Morrisville State College with a facility based in Cortland County. The grant for the center will help fund a biodiesel infrastructure in New York State through the construction of an oilseed crushing and biodiesel processing plant and extensive research in the use of biofuels and byproducts.[4]

Weather station

A fully automated, self-contained weather station has been in operation at Morrisville State College since 2002. The weather station collects weather data which is used in support of various college projects, including alternative energy projects.[5]
