 Varied Vernacular: Five architects pick their favorite Hudson Valley buildings

 One of Rick Alfandre’s favorite buildings in the Hudson Valley is the Student Union Glass Atrium at SUNY New Paltz, designed by Ikon5.
“The contrast between the 2010 glass building and the adjacent brutalist student union and administration buildings really is enjoyable. The amount of glass feels outside of my design comfort zone or sensibilities. As such, it continues to challenge my thinking about architecture. The building has become iconic.”
 

Reopening FAQ of the day
Can students still get virtual support from the Career Resource Center?
Yes. The Career Resource Center (CRC) is available to help students practice for job interview, search for an internship, have their résumé reviewed or discuss graduate school options.
Students can schedule a virtual appointment to meet remotely with a career coach via phone, WebEx, Skype or Facetime. Use this link to learn more.
The CRC has also created a comprehensive page of available online services for students' convenience. See that list via this link.
