College President Admiral John Craine has demonstrated his commitment for making Maritime’s waterfront, already considered one the best, “the best collegiate waterfront in the country.” In support of this directive plans are progressing for a $10 million waterfront improvement project. Current facilities include:
Olivet Pier
The 600’ pier serves as home for Maritime’s Training Ship Fleet including the 565’ Empire State VI, SUNY Maritime (formerly Stalwart), Buoy Tender, Commodore Alexanderson and monomoy’s.
McMurray Hall
McMurray, which goes by a variety of nicknames including the “TIV” (Student Activities Center), waterfront, sailing center or simply the boathouse, is the heart of the waterfront recreational activity.
Ground Floor: three bays offering large indoor repair and storage facilities supported by nearby machine, wood, and paint shops, and a changing room
Mezzanine: A team meeting room and men’s and women’s locker rooms
Top Floor: waterfront offices, all purpose student lounge, café’ and balcony with the best viewing platform in all of college sailing offering a panoramic view of the East River from the Throgs Neck Bridge to the New York City skyline beyond the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge.
Apron: Behind McMurray Hall you will find a 20-ton travel lift enabling Maritime to haul and maintain its recreational vessels at this facility.
