Real World Facilities
The Hospitality and Tourism department boasts facilities that were designed as teaching laboratories to educate and train our students to become leaders in regional and global hospitality and tourism professions.
Caudell Hall
Caudell Hall, features a new two-story main entrance and expansive lobby, featuring the Russell J. Salvatore Demonstration Kitchen and culinary theatre. The building is now home to expanded state-of-the-art culinary, baking, and food labs, as well as updated elevators and rest rooms. Our conference spaces allow students, businesses, and industries to collaborate with us in new initiatives.
Campus House
Campus House, is one of the university's five original buildings and became the perfect location to create a “hands-on” laboratory for Buffalo State’s hospitality program.
Opened in 2002, the substantial SUNY investment resulted in a dynamic teaching-and-research laboratory. Faculty and staff (current or retired), alumni, and friends of the university would now have access to spaces for dining, networking, meeting, and special occasions.

Culinary, Baking, and Food Labs
Architectural changes in the original floor plan of Caudell Hall resulted in expansion of the culinary, baking, and food labs on the first and second floors. These state-of-the-art labs are where students develop culinary experience and expertise to manage kitchens and other food-related facilities.
