UNY Poly’s Utica campus offers on-site housing in traditional residence halls and suite style buildings for undergraduate and graduate students. For students attending SUNY Poly’s Albany campus, housing is hosted by CrestHill Suites on nearby Washington Avenue and offers 1, 2, and 3 person suites. The residential life staff is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and supportive experience for all students. We offer a variety of gender-inclusive housing options to ensure that residential living is a positive experience for residents of all gender identities and gender expressions. When sharing a residence, all students can specify and/or select the preferred gender of their roommate. If you are interested in additional information regarding gender-inclusive room or suites, we can provide you with a personal and private assessment of the available options and assist in finding the best arrangement for you. To discuss your interest or preferences, please contact Jennifer Adams in Residential Life & Housing at 315-792-7810.

Our first-year students live in either Oriskany or Adirondack Complexes in Utica and at CrestHill Suites in Albany. Oriskany Hall is our newest residence and was awarded LEED Silver Certification as part of SUNY Poly’s dedication to a sustainable future for our environment. Oriskany is comprised of triple, double and single rooms in suites with multiple restrooms, a shared kitchenette, shared conference/study room and shared living room. Oriskany also hosts three large classrooms and a full kitchen for building events and academic courses.

Some first year students, upper-class students and graduate students reside in Mohawk and Adirondack complexes. Buildings hold 16 students in 4-person suites with a shared bathroom and common living room. Bedrooms in Mohawk and Adirondack are primarily single, with a small number of double rooms available in Adirondack, only. Both Mohawk and Adirondack have an efficiency kitchen and lounge available in a common area for resident student use. For our Albany campus, CrestHill Suites offers private bathrooms and in-suite kitchens.

Ethernet, wireless and cable service are provided for all resident students in residence halls; CrestHill residency includes wireless and cable service. Resident students also have access to laundry facilities within their own complex. Returning students are eligible to select their own suitemates and housing via a lottery system in the spring semester of each year.

Resident students are required to purchase a dining plan with Sodexo Dining Services (Utica) or Chartwell’s Dining (Albany.)
