BROOME DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER

BROOME DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER is a public school that is part of the NYS OFFICE FOR PEOPLE WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES school district, located in BINGHAMTON, NY.

The **BROOME DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER**, located on Glenwood Road in Binghamton, New York, was historically a state-run facility operated by the New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD). For decades, it served as a residential institution providing care, specialized support, and therapeutic services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The center was a significant component of the state’s long-term care infrastructure, designed to provide a structured environment for those requiring consistent medical and behavioral supervision.

In recent years, the facility has undergone significant changes as New York State shifted its policy away from large, centralized institutional living toward community-based integration. Following the gradual downsizing and eventual closure of the campus as a primary residential center, the site has transitioned into a complex used for various administrative and specialized programmatic functions. Today, the location remains a notable landmark in the Binghamton area, representing the broader historical shift in disability services from institutional settings to smaller, more inclusive community environments.
