Environmental Building Design Earns UAlbany High Marks on the Sustainable Campus Index
The University at Albany was named a top performer in the 2024 Sustainable Campus Index, published by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education.
Campus Center Ballroom Renovation
-
Since the Campus Center has been constructed in the mid-1960’s, the ballroom space has not been fully renovated. There have been updates to AV, IT and furniture throughout the years, but not a full-scale space and ancillary space review for upgrade. This project will convert this amenity into a more user friendly, modern, updated, exciting, UA branded and accessible location.
Renovate Lecture Centers
-
The renovation of Lecture Centers is a multi-phased project to completely renovate all Lecture Center classrooms.
Casey and Rec Field Turf Replacement
-
This project includes the replacement of existing turf at both fields to create new playing surfaces for the student athletes and the student body.
Renovate Former Albany High School Building (Bldg 523) - Phases 4-6
The former Albany High School Building, located on the University at Albany’s downtown campus, is the planned home of the College of Nanotechnology, Science and Engineering (CNSE). The building was originally constructed in 1912 as the City of Albany’s High School and was purchased by the University in 2013. It is four stories plus a below-grade sub-ground floor. The net area is approximately 129,000 gross square feet and is currently unoccupied.
Uptown Campus – Bus Rapid Transit (BRT): Gardenway
The University worked in conjunction with the Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA) to provide greater transportation services with the creation of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Gardenway. The project, part of a $60.9 million construction grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration to CDTA for an 8.5-mile Albany Washington Western BRT Purple Line route, provides students with a quicker transportation option to get downtown.
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.
