Farmingdale State College – New Campus Center, Farmingdale, NY
State University of New York

Overview: This new Campus Center is designed to be LEED® Silver Certified. The $25 million facility will encompass large dining rooms, a multipurpose room, student lounges, a book store, game rooms, convenient store, and student offices. The Center will also include storage and recycling rooms for students and staff to apply green habits.

Some of the challenges that were addressed include developing a viable and successful stand-alone facility that enhances the campus’ image and portal for convenient campus entry. The design also had to anticipate a future project that will require the demolition of the rear portion of a neighboring building to create a plaza/open area.
