Campus
Located in the capital of New York State, ACPHS is surrounded by both academic institutions (Albany Law School, Albany Medical College, Sage College) and some of the region's top hospitals (Albany Medical Center, St. Peter's Hospital, Albany Stratton VA Medical Center).
The ACPHS Student Center is the hub of the Albany Campus, featuring two lecture halls, the bookstore, the IT Support Center, the "Panther's Den" (student lounge), and the Robison Family Dining Hall. The Dining Hall, newly renovated in 2010, includes offerings from Coldstone Creamery, Tim Hortons, and Au Bon Pain. The Lewis Library is in the midst of a major renovation project first begun in 2010. Once complete, the Library will be greatly expanded in size and scope, offering more study space and services for students.
Student housing is provided for all years on campus. The Albany Campus includes three dorms -- South Hall for first year students, Notre Dame for sophomores, and Holland and Princeton Suites for upperclassmen. In addition, University Heights College Suites (UHCS) offers apartment style housing for upperclassmen (UHCS is owned and managed by the Renaissance Corporation, not the College).
The College fields intercollegiate sports teams in soccer, basketball, and cross country. The school competes in the Hudson Valley Athletic Conference and is a member of the United States Collegiate Athletic Association. As part of the College's $50 million "Moving Forward" Capital Campaign (launched in 2011), ACPHS is installing a new $2.5 million athletics track and field. The expected completion date for the project is Spring 2013.
