Miner Center and the FitzPatrick Library are within a short walking distance of the housing complex. The complex is a single story array of two and three person accommodations arranged in
a horseshoe-shaped building. The complex also consists of a courtyard area, tennis and basketball courts. The grass courtyard has a volleyball net and BBQ grill, which provide for recreational opportunities. Free parking surrounds the entire facility.
The two- and three-person suites have spacious rooms with ample closet space, four-drawer dressers, beds, an updated private bathroom, kitchenettes, lounge chairs, student work areas and cable TV. The kitchenettes include a full-size refrigerator, microwave, sink and cooktop. An oven is located in the student lounge for community use. The individual student work areas include a desk with two drawers and have outlets, phone connections, and network connections, which are ideal for students with personal computers. Students may purchase high-speed DSL internet access for their work area at a minimal charge.
A student lounge is located in the center of the housing complex. The main room has a pool table, ping pong, and Fooz Ball, along with a TV and DVD/VCR player for
recreational activities. A new addition to the student lounge is the fitness center. The fitness center has various exercise machines, including an elliptical machine, recumbent bike and weight bench system. In the basement of the student lounge is a laundry facility with several “no cost” washers and dryers.

"I found living in Chazy at the Miner Center to be a great experience. The landscape in and around Miner is sprawling and pastoral in nature, which makes for great star gazing, watching sunsets, and eyeing storms rolling in. The farm is a beautiful place to take a walk or run; accented by long rows of white split rail fences with horses grazing in the pastures. The apartments are spacious and in good condition, equipped with a full bath, full kitchen, and lots of natural light. The meals offered by the Miner Center were nearly as good as my Mom's, which is hard to do, and a welcomed treat after a long day in the field. And the company - Miner's staff, the students, and instructors - were always great. There is something special about Miner that spurs a strong comradery amongst everyone."
