Last Updated: Friday, November 20, 2009

Status: Active

DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND:
SUNY New Paltz Student Union Building advisory committee, IKON.5 Architects and a nationally renowned Student Union Building (SUB) specialist has evaluated the campus SUB regarding it's specific needs and visibility relative to the campus as a whole. The program developed includes expansion of the SUB into the courtyard between the existing SUB and Haggerty Administration Building (HAB) to include the creation of additional campus conference space, impromptu student presentation/gathering space and a more grand entrance to our campus bookstore. It also relocates offices while enhancing the north side of the SUB on the lower three floors. The project during construction and later during operation will be the most environmentally friendly project the SUNY New Paltz campus has ever witnessed, complete with low/zero impact mechanical and electrical support systems as well as sustainable finishes throughout.

UPDATES:
The addition is in various stages of construction from exterior steel work to interior HVAC and electrical work. The exterior steel is being painted and fireproofed. The expansion is expected to be complete by May, 2010.
