Uptown Campus – Colonial G & H Residence Hall Renovation and Recreation Center
This project gut-renovates both Paine and Zenger Halls on Colonial Quad, residence halls in the northwest corner of the UAlbany Uptown Campus, continuing the University’s ongoing program of modernizing student housing facilities. The project creates attractive, new living spaces for students and equally important, converts what was the Colonial Quad dining and kitchen facilities into a new home for UAlbany’s recreational services.
PE Building Renovate Gym and Pool Infill
This project is the initial phase of a complete PE Building Rehab currently in the schematic design phase and tentatively scheduled to begin construction in 2024. The project is intended to allow the campus to have a large athletic venue updated and available with similar amenities to Broadview Arena while the Broadview Arena was off-line for a major renovation to the arena space.
Broadview Arena Rehab
The existing retractable bleacher system at the Broadview Arena was in disrepair and had reached the end of its useful life. Some sections were inoperable and unsafe at that time and repairs were unable to be made. Due to the age of the system replacement parts were unavailable. Additionally, the former bleacher configuration was not favorable for viewing athletic events as those venues in similar Division I basketball arenas. As early as 2009, Heery Design (now part of SLAM Sports Group) developed a study looking at short- and long-term seating options and configurations to help improve sightlines and develop varied spectator options like loge and club seating, utilize both fixed and retractable seating to create a more arena bowl-like configuration with increased ADA seating options to greatly improve the fan experience.
