Buffalo Center for Arts & Technology expands facilities to enhance education and career support

The Buffalo Center for Arts & Technology (BCAT) is expanding its facilities to better support adults and teens pursuing education and career opportunities. The new location on Sycamore Street will double classroom space and increase course offerings. The "Brainy Bulls" program at the University at Buffalo connects students in need of academic help with volunteer tutors through online sessions. Currently, about 50 tutors assist around 100 students in grades five through twelve. People Inc. is developing the Juniper Apartments in Hamburg, set to open in fall 2026. This $35 million project will provide 65 affordable housing units, including options for older adults and those with physical limitations, addressing local housing needs.
