A recipient of the “Excellence in Design” award from the Queens Chamber of Commerce, Plaza College’s Forest Hills campus was designed from scratch around the collegiate student learning experience and is a true representation of Plaza’s unmistakable sense of place.
The campus was built in 2014 utilizing Forest Hill Tower’s unique “building within a building” option. Located on the first and second floors of the Forest Hills Tower, the College has its own designated street level entrance allowing for easy accessibility and maximum security. Forest Hills Tower is situated on the corner of Queens Boulevard and Union Turnpike – a central location very accessible through multiple highways and all mass transit. The Kew Gardens/Union Turnpike express subway stop (E & F Train) is less than 25 steps from our front door, and both local and express bus routes stop right in front of our main entrance. Additionally, the campus offers discounted parking to both students and staff through our on-site garage (directly beneath our building).
The College’s campus features 19 classrooms equipped with the same technology found in today’s professional environments; five dedicated laboratories, including a multipurpose lab, phlebotomy lab, and patient simulation lab; resource areas for supplemental study, including the Academic Resources Center and Library; and places where members of the College community can relax and socialize, especially the Student Commons and outdoor terrace.
The Community Dental Clinic is located on the third floor of the campus. With a dedicated patient entrance, the Clinic is staffed by the College’s Dental Hygiene students and faculty members and provides oral healthcare services to the community. The Clinic has 20 operatories equipped with the latest hygiene and xray technology.
The only way to truly understand Plaza’s unmistakable sense of place is to visit our award-winning campus. To schedule a visit, please call Admissions at 718-505-4188.

If I’m having a difficult situation, need some flexibility or need clarification, they’ve been easy to reach out to with no hesitation."
“The hands-on training has been a tremendous help in preparing me for my externship. Everything I was taught in all my clinical classes was exactly what I was able to use in my externship and more. The skills that I learned at Plaza College will help me in all of my future endeavors.”
“I chose Plaza College because I wanted to be in an accelerated program, where I am able to commit full-time, and start working as a dental hygienist much faster.
