SCHENECTADY — Clarkson University officially opened its new Capital Region Campus on Monday.

The campus building at 80 Nott Terrace is the former Union Graduate College, which merged into Clarkson.

The college will serve as a recruiting hub for graduate and professional degree program admissions at Clarkson's operations in New York state and online, including Clarkson's Beacon Institute for Rivers & Estuaries and a partnership with the Trudeau Institute in Saranac Lake.

The total enrollment of Clarkson is now more than 4,300 students.

A grand opening celebration is planned for late February.
