CURRENT PROJECTS



JUST OPENED:
Centennial Hall at SUNY ESF

Centennial Hall, which opened in August 2011 to 452 students, was built to be an environmentally friendly LEED-certified building. Its impact on the environment is reduced by the use of storm water management techniques, sustainable building materials where possible, landscaping that includes native plants and a limited need to mow, extensive indoor storage and cleaning facilities for bicycles, and a pedestrian-friendly design.

"Allen & O'Hara's attention to our college's sustainability ideals along with our goal to greatly improve our students' living environment impressed the selection committee," said Brenda Greenfield, Executive Director of the ESF College Foundation, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation of alumni, college and community leaders committed to helping the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF) achieve its mission through resource development and resource management. "It is very important to our college and students that our student housing reflects the college's commitment to the environment and is on the cutting edge of sustainability."
