Binghamton University (BU) is a 930-acre campus located in the Binghamton suburb of Vestal, in New York State’s Southern Tier near the Pennsylvania border. For the last 15 years, BU has invested in the surrounding community and become an agent for change for Broome and Tioga Counties. Its most recent revitalization efforts have focused in nearby Johnson City with the recently completed construction of the new Pharmacy School in the old Endicott Johnson neighborhood. At 96 Corliss Ave., the new 4-story, 95,000 gross square foot (GSF) Pharmacy School is the backbone of the area’s revitalization. The facility includes research and instructional labs, classrooms, lecture halls, a pharmacy skills lab, assessment and simulation labs, offices and student activity and support space.

In addition, the combination of the Health and Sciences Campus and private investment allows BU students to be in physical proximity to those companies and organizations with which they hope to intern and near future employers such as the adjacent United Health Center Wilson Medical Center. Housing, restaurants and shops are located in the community in which they are learning.

The pharmacy will support 350+ graduate students and 30-40 students seeking doctoral degrees. It is estimated that once the BU Health Sciences Campus is complete, more than 1,000 students, faculty and staff will reside in the new and renovated spaces and support the local businesses. Continued economic development will turn Johnson City once again into a vibrant educational, cultural and commercial hub.

Founded in 1971, the University Eye Center (UEC), housed on the College of Optometry campus in Midtown Manhattan, is the patient-care facility of the State University of New York College of Optometry. It is one of the largest eye-and-vision care clinics in the country examining approximately 70,000 patients annually. Because Optometry is a teaching facility affiliated with a major university, services go well beyond comprehensive eye exams, eyeglasses and contact lenses. Optometrists and other practitioners refer patients to Optometry when they have patients in need of advanced care, testing or other specialty services. Some of these services include Adult and Pediatric Primary Care, Rehabilitation, Diabetic Eye Care, and Social Services.

The UEC partners with numerous psychiatric centers, hospitals and ambulatory care centers affiliated with the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation. Its extensive Vision Screening Program reaches out to children in schools and community organizations throughout New York City. The Optometry Homebound program, faculty and student interns provide comprehensive vision care to people with limited mobility across New York City. Beyond New York, UEC faculty and students regularly organize community-service trips to provide vision care to disadvantaged communities around the world.

Currently, the 10th floor of the Eye Center is being renovated to include a new pediatric clinic care center. The finished space will encompass approximately 4,500 SF and will include 8 new exam rooms, optic center, waiting room and restrooms, office space, chill room and consult room. Construction is expected to be completed in 2020.
