OVERVIEWof schenectady county community collegeHistory and FacilitiesSchenectady County Community College was officially establishedby the Schenectady County Board of Representatives on January 26,1967, after a study made by a citizens committee that showed a needfor a community college in the County. Following approvals by theState University of New York and the appointment of Trustees forSCCC, the Van Curler Hotel was purchased by the County anddesignated as the site for the College.Located on the western edge of the City of Schenectady, theextensively renovated Van Curler Hotel was transformed into acollege, and classes began in September 1969. The building wassubsequently renamed Elston Hall in honor of Charles W. Elston.Mr. Elston was a member of the original Board of Trustees andserved as chairperson of that board for eight years. Elston Hallhouses traditional and electronic classrooms, computer, learning andlanguage labs, science and culinary arts laboratories, the CasolaDining Room, the Van Curler Room, the Lally Mohawk Room,meeting rooms, the College Store, a cafeteria and offices.The CampusIn 1978, a multi-purpose building was constructed on campusthat houses the Begley Library, including Multi-Media Services. Thisbuilding also houses the SCCC School of Music, designed to meetthe needs of students in the nationally accredited music programs,and the Carl B. Taylor Community Auditorium, home to musical andtheatrical performances and special events.The campus was further enhanced in 1987 when the Center forScience and Technology (CST) opened. This unique facility containsthe College’s physics and chemistry laboratories as well as specializedlaboratory facilities for circuits, electronics, vacuum science,and computer networking.A campus development project was completed in 1992.

The South Wing addition to ElstonHall added four new culinary arts laboratories and an expandedrestaurant facility, the Casola Dining Room.
