Finger Lakes Community College / May 6, 2026
FLCC marked Earth Day, April 22, with a ribbon-cutting in front of the new bunkhouse at Muller Field Station.
The new building, along with expanded parking and a bus turnaround, will support more immersive learning and research experiences. Muller Field Station is a 48-acre property at the south end of Honeoye Lake that consists of wooded and wetland habitats.
“Today we celebrate a bold new chapter,” said FLCC President Robert Nye of the $3.38 million project.
“This facility stands as a powerful reminder of what happens when philanthropy, public investment and community partnership come together with a purpose.”
Jean Rohland, daughter of Emil Muller, expressed gratitude for the project. She noted it fulfills the vision her late father and his wife, Florence Muller, had before donating the land to FLCC.
“I am congratulating you all today on what you’ve achieved, and I cannot say thank you enough.”
After the ribbon-cutting, attendees toured the lodge and bunkhouse and enjoyed refreshments. Student interns presented projects from the spring 2026 semester.
