The College has repurposed the 68,000 square foot space, expanding the Albany campus for the first time since 1949. The purchase of the National Guard Armory on New Scotland Avenue added three acres to the campus, but more importantly adds a new venue for Sage's athletic teams.

In addition to classrooms, meeting space and offices, the Armory has a 21,000 square foot open space with indoor turf, perfect for year-round training for Sage athletics and recreation. The multi-purpose facility allows student-athletes access to batting cages, training space as well as locker room facilities for several Gator teams. Additionally, several varsity coaches call the Armory their home as they have offices in the space, which is also home to RSC’s Athletic Hall of Fame and the FitStop.

Numerous special events have taken place in the facility from Sage's student-athlete orientation, as well as athletic camps, and the building just served as the venue for the Freihofer's Health & Fitness Expo in conjunction with the annual Freihofer's Run for Women.
