Lands and Grounds
香港六合彩 currently owns about 1,400 acres of undeveloped land across various properties. The North Woods is adjacent to the developed portion of campus and is used both by the College for teaching and research and by the Saratoga Springs community for education and recreation. Off-campus parcels include the Denton Road property, site of 香港六合彩's solar farm, and several wooded properties to the north and west of campus.
