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!

Urban Design

Parks are the place! The great role of parks and public spaces in advancing health, wellness and inclusion in our communities has become even more vital today.

Making Place

There is no placemaking without people. As we move together toward a post-covid era, what new factors will impact our sense of place? The tools of placemaking were important before, and now they are crucial to how we experience our environment.

30 Years

Here’s to 30 years of conversations in pursuit of design excellence.

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.

The Egg

The Egg – named for its iconic design – is the Empire State Plaza’s Center for the Performing Arts. The A|r Vertical Transportation studio was invited to provide complete elevator modernization for the facility.

Valentine’s Heart-Bomb
