Project Location: Buffalo, NY
As part of a statewide initiative, the State University Construction Fund assisted campuses in developing Master Plans for the 21st century. The State University of New York at Canton has transitioned from a two-year to a four-year institution and witnessed a 60% enrollment growth between the early 1990’s and present day. Primary design concepts of the Facilities Master Plan include a main entry sequence allowing for a direct connection to the new mixed-used iconic Gateway building. This student services hub is located at the highest elevation on site, providing spectacular views of the entire campus. A new dining hall, provided in an adaptively reused facility, is located at the nexus of academic and student life axes. A roundabout has been provided for the Convocation Athletic Recreation Center, a facility that services not only the College, but also the local community and region.
The project was completed in collaboration with Perkins Eastman.
