Allied Health Science Building
Classes began in 2016 in a new four-story science and allied health building on the east side of the campus. The building houses the master’s in physician assistant studies program, and the doctor of physical therapy program, as well as undergraduate biology, biomedical science, medical technology, and athletic training programs. The project is designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, one of the world’s leading architectural firms.
Academic Building and Student Center
Construction of a 24,000-square-foot academic building and an accompanying expansion and renovation of the Student Center was completed in spring 2014. The esteemed firm of Robert A.M. Stern Architects led the $33 million project. The new building houses Marist’s robust Music Department as well as multipurpose space for performances, readings, and lectures. The Student Center renovation features a dining hall with a three-story cathedral ceiling and an adjacent quiet dining area and a terrace, both offering Hudson River views. The project also enhanced the Nelly Goletti Theatre, named in memory of accomplished composer, pianist, and singer Nelly Goletti, a longtime Hudson Valley resident. Additional facilities within the Student Center include a health and wellness center, student lounges, student government offices, space for club activities, a yoga and dance studio, a post office, and a bookstore.
The Hancock Center
The $35 million Hancock Center, which opened in 2011, is home to the School of Computer Science and Mathematics, International Programs, the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, and the Investment Center, a state-of-the-art trading room that provides students in all business fields with access to the same tools and real-time data screens found in professional trading rooms. The Hancock Center also houses the Enterprise Computing Research Lab, Security Operations Center, eSports Training and Competition rooms, and the New York State Cloud Computing and Analytics Center-established with a $3 million state grant-which provides IT services to new and growing businesses. The Hancock Center dedicates space to classrooms, seminar rooms, computer labs, and academic administration offices as well as to Marist’s joint study with the IBM Corporation. The building also features a café, student lounge, and patio overlooking the Hudson River. The center was designed by Robert A.M.

Dyson, who received an honorary degree from Marist in 1986, and his wife, Margaret, who together improved the quality of life throughout the Hudson Valley through their philanthropy.
