Our first satellite campus for the entire Five Campus UMass System was opened in Springfield, MA on March 25th, 2014. The Center at Springfield is 26,000 SF and can accomodate 900 students, faculty and staff. However, UMass does not own nor operate the facility and therefore it is difficult to gain access to any data related to the operations of this facility. For this reason, we have not included it in this report.
