The State University of New York (SUNY) Center for Brownfield Studies is an educational initiative focused on environmental management and the redevelopment of brownfield properties. Brownfields are abandoned, idled, or under-used properties where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination. |
| The Center focuses on three major areas:
1) Academic programs to deliver a holistic curriculum
that encompasses skills related to remediation and redevelopment;
2) Community support programs to become the "go to"
place for training and advice on State and Federal
programs for regulation and funding, and technical
assistance on remediation, and economic development;
3) Research and development of innovative processes
and technologies for cost-effective, implementable, and
protective solutions to protect public health and
environment at
brownfield sites.

The Center provides undergraduate and graduate students with varied expertise, disciplines, and skills necessary for returning negatively impacted properties to productive use. Both public and private sectors will teach and learn at the Center and contribute to the research that will ultimately enhance society's ability to evaluate, remediate, and redevelop brownfields. |
