[edit] History
Originally a graduate and upper-division institution, the college offered classes in temporary locations and at extension sites for several years until the first buildings were constructed on the permanent campus in the 1980s. In February 2002 the SUNY Board of Trustees approved a mission change, enabling SUNYIT to offer lower-division programs in professional, technological, and applied studies. In fall 2003 SUNYIT admitted its first class of freshmen, becoming a full, four-year institution.

[edit] Athletics
SUNYIT is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA Division III), the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC), and the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC). SUNYIT made a successful transition from the SUNYAC to the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) during the 2008-09 academic year.
The current roster of SUNYIT sports includes baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s bowling, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s swimming and men’s and women’s volleyball.
Construction has begun on a $20 million field house and turf field. The field house will feature a state-of-the-art fitness center, two full-sized basketball courts and four volleyball courts, indoor practice facilities for all Wildcat teams, a running track, an expansive training room, team rooms, and offices for the athletics department’s administrative staff and coaches. In addition, a new baseball field will also be developed, since the field house and turf field will be built on the site of the current field.
[edit] Campus
Wild turkeys and deer roam the campus. There are outdoor tennis and basketball courts, baseball fields, and a pitch and putt golf area. There are also nature trails that wind through the woods throughout the campus.
SUNYIT students enjoy campus life in highly rated residence halls. The campus’s current two residential complexes – Mohawk and Adirondack Halls – offer the privacy and convenience of apartments, with students sharing suites in townhouse-style buildings.
Major campus improvements underway include four new buildings: a $13 million student center, a $20 million field house, a $27.5 million technology center and a $23.5 million residence hall. A multi-million dollar renovation of Kunsela Hall, the first campus building constructed, was completed in 2007. The $14 million Cayan Library was dedicated in 2003.
