Hamilton College will receive $671,141 from the New York State Dormitory Authority for the purchase and installation of equipment at the Kirner-Johnson Building. KJ is undergoing extensive renovation, with Phase 1 work completed this month. The money will come from the authority's Higher Education Capital Matching Grant Program (HECAP), according to state Sen. Joseph Griffo, R-Rome, and state Assemblyman David Townsend, R-Sylvan Beach.
The HECAP program provides matching grants (on a 3:1 basis) to private colleges and universities engaged in capital projects that impact primarily academic facilities and/or that enhance academic programming. Amy Lindner, associate director for Foundation, Corporate, and Government Relations, said that Hamilton applied for funding for equipment for KJ including HVAC equipment, A/V, computer, and networking equipment
KJ is home to Hamilton's social sciences departments. It also houses the Arthur Levitt Public Affairs Center, the Nesbitt-Johnston Writing Center and the Oral Communications Center.
