Physics Program at SUNY Plattsburgh - Facilities

Laboratory Facilities

Plattsburgh State has just upgraded its Physics teaching laboratory with new, state of the art Introductory Physics Laboratory equipment coupled with all new networked computers. This investment by the college will allow Physics, Physics Education and Pre-Engineering majors to better grasp the concepts which will be the building blocks of their careers.

Northcountry Planetarium

Without a doubt the best Planetarium among all of the SUNY comprehensive colleges. Courses taught in the Planetarium better prepare you for your career as a teacher, or can be taken just for the joy of Astronomy as can only be taught in a high quality Planetarium.

Interested students can also work with Dr. Glenn Myer or Ms. Lisabeth Kissner and learn to help with the development and presentation of Planetarium shows for school groups and the general public. Read about Alia Davis's experience working with Glenn Myer at the planetarium.

Physics Student Commons Room

• A place to study, a place to relax.
• The Physics student commons room has work space where you can get together with friends from your Physics courses and work together on projects, problem solving, etc., or just get together after or between classes, or late at night when you need a quiet place to study.
• A computer and laser printer are in the Commons for student use.
• The commons has a refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker to help you through those late night study sessions which are a part of college life.
