2M Phase 4 Reconstruction
Phase 4 will continue the renovation of 2M with build outs of the north and east wings of the building. This phase will fulfill the needs of the CSB with additional faculty and advisement offices, a Dean’s suite, labs, classrooms, a large lecture hall, and amenities such as a café and landscaped courtyard. Currently in the design phase, construction is expected to begin in early 2028.
Sidewalk Reconstruction Phase 2
Phase 2 will renovate the plazas of Buildings 1R, 1C, and 1L, Alumni Walk, the East
Fountain at 1P, and the Wooded Park. It will feature amenities such as seating and charging stations, and a completely renovated fountain. Currently in the design phase, construction is
expected to begin in early 2027.
Entry Plaza Reconstruction Phase 2 - Buildings 3N, 4N, 5N
Entrance plazas are designed with sustainability in mind, improved ADA access, and drainage away from building foundations. New gutters and leaders and a new stormwater system will be installed to control and reduce the rate of flow from these buildings into the existing storm sewer with piping, detention, inlets and manholes. Side entrances will be addressed as well.
Entry Plaza Reconstruction Phase 3 - Buildings 1S, 2S, 4S, 6S.
Entrance plazas will be designed with sustainability in mind, improved ADA, and drainage away from building foundations.
New gutters and leader and a new stormwater system will be installed to control and reduce the rate of flow from these building into the existing storm sewer with piping, detention, inlets and manholes. Side entrances will be addressed as well.
6S Genomic Research Lab & Science Lecture Hall
This project will provide a state-of-the-art Genomic Research Lab and technology-based Science Lecture Hall in building 6S.
The Genomic Research Lab will perform next generation sequencing, allowing students to acquire knowledge in data science, genomics and computational biology for their future career development.
The creation of a Science Lecture Hall next to the Genomic Lab will offer a unique, technology-integrated experience to students, enhancing STEM instructional tools and student learning.
Anticipated start of construction is December 2026 with a completion date of November 2027.
Solar Panels (energy savings)
The scope of work includes the installation of solar Photo Voltaic (PV) panels on new canopies over parking lots and existing building roofs and the related infrastructure. The areas identified by CUNY for this project are Buildings 1R, 1P, 1C, 1L, and parking lots 1 through 6. The project will also evaluate the potential benefits of electric vehicle charging stations and battery electric storage systems to further reduce carbon emissions and meet sustainability goals.
Entry Doors & Access Controls
This project involves the replacement of all exterior building entry and exit doors, hardware and security devices. It will include access controls, card readers, and other security features to enable card access, entry tracking, remote locking, and other functionalities as needed. The project will replace approximately 219 doors on campus.
LED lighting Upgrades
This project will replace existing fluorescent lighting with energy efficient LED lighting in Buildings 1L, 1R, 2A, and 6S.
6S Boiler Upgrade
The replacement of two end-of-life gas-fired boilers in Building 6S which serve the Animal Facility with a new clean steam generator and back-up gas-fired boiler will provide a reliable source of steam for the facility’s cage washing system.
BAS Upgrade (energy savings)
An upgrade to the campus-wide Building Automation System (BAS) will replace obsolete controls with new state of the art infrastructure to maximize the efficiency and operation of heating, ventilation, air-conditioning (HVAC) and mechanical equipment throughout the campus. The new system will allow for the future integration of new equipment and systems such as lighting controls to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
6S lab Upgrades
Building 6S Lab upgrades scope of work shall include a comprehensive conditions assessment and replacement of aging laboratory fume hoods and specialized casework, cabinetry, and acid-resistant epoxy resin benchtops to ensure compliance with safety standards. The scope includes all necessary MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) modifications, updating specialized exhaust systems for airflow and pressure control, replacing old piping with corrosion-resistant materials, and providing new stainless-steel sinks. Additionally, the project shall feature the installation of moisture-mitigated, chemical-resistant flooring, as well as ceiling work where deemed necessary as a result of flooding/leakage from floors above.
Athletic Field Lighting
Currently in design phase, will conclude improvements to the Athletic Fields.
New lighting and related underground conduits and wiring shall be provided at Soccer and Track & Field, along with new scoreboards.
Baseball and Softball Fields shall be relamped with new LED lighting to maximize useful life and energy efficiency and allow for the facility to improve its hosting capabilities for sanctioned NCAA (Collegiate).
A steeplechase shall also be incorporated at the newly built Track.
1R Locker Room Renovation
This project will replace the existing men’s and women’s locker rooms and restrooms to allow for a layout redesign that meets the needs of indoor varsity sports as well as space for hosting opposing teams, as well as space for the general student body, community rentals, staff and officials. All furniture, fixtures and equipment will be replaced, including but not limited to lockers, shower components, toilets, sinks, and flooring.
1P Performing and Creative Arts Lighting & AV Equipment Upgrades
This project aims to modernize the Concert Hall, Williamson Theater, Recital Hall, Lecture Hall, the Lab Thater, and the Atrium of the College of Staten Island’s Center for the Arts (CFA) to their fullest potential, with a particular focus on enhancing the dimming infrastructure, DMX distribution, and the networked control systems necessary for a modern and fully capable theatrical facility. The new dimming solutions will ensure greater precision, reliability, and energy efficiency, supporting a wider range of modern fixture types, including LED luminaires. The updated DMX and network infrastructure will offer seamless data distribution, more flexible patching options, and significantly reduced troubleshooting time due to centralized management and diagnostics. Additionally, advanced lighting control systems shall be integrated that provide intuitive interfaces for operators, programmable presets for recurring events, and scalable options to accommodate future Systems, Products and Services For Entertainment and Architecture expansions or technology shifts. These controls will streamline day-to-day operations and minimize the learning curve for both student technicians, everyday staff, and visiting professionals.
