Welcome Center

Returning to college or arriving for the first time, the Welcome Center provides an intriguing point of arrival, beckoning the community to discover the campus.

Positioned at the head of the academic mall, the new SUNY Oneonta Welcome Center invites new students and alumni to experience the rich tradition of SUNY Oneonta, as they pass between the original “Old Main” pillars to approach the new hilltop facility.

“The college’s new Welcome Center has met expectations, providing an exceptional first-impression to visitors and prospective students. With the opening of the college’s Welcome Center and expanded campus visitation options, the college saw a 7% increase in visitors to campus this year. Total applications increased by 18.2% and the freshmen acceptance rate decreased from 59 to 51%”

We’re delighted that the staff and students of SUNY Oneonta are enjoying their new Welcome Center!

Good luck Class of 2020!

Whether you are staying home, working from home, or providing essential services each day, we are all learning how to be together apart and how to be creative at home.

Understanding Place

One of the earliest steps in our design process is illustrating the forces that will affect a future design. It is imperative for us to understand how a new project will interact with its surroundings, make us feel, appear throughout the season, and accommodate the needs of future occupants.

Waterways

Our great waterways create a sense of place and connect us to the industrial heritage of our region. We have teamed with community stakeholders to build inviting civic spaces and bolster community engagement within these important spaces.

Performance Space Design

March is Music in Our Schools Month, and this March we celebrate the performing arts and spaces that support the inclusive and energizing experience of live performance.

Universal Design for Public Comfort Stations

We strive to design for all at every level of the built environment. We are looking beyond Gender Neutral design to Universally designed bathrooms, or comfort stations – conceived to be accessible to all people, regardless of gender expression, age, ability, belief, and social structure.
