SUNY Geneseo, Union Plaza
- Project Description: The College identified the exterior plaza, stairs and retaining walls of the 36-year-old Union Plaza to be in disrepair. The concrete stairs were in poor condition due to years of heavy salting and are a continuous maintenance problem. Many of these stairs needed to be patched yearly to maintain a minimum safety standard. These stairs varied in width and in many cases do not meet current code for stairway rail width. The College also expressed the desire to reduce the stairs in and around the plaza in an attempt to reduce maintenance, especially snow removal in the winter. The college considers this area of the campus very important to campus life and a selling point for new students and parents. The design had to be visually appealing, useful, flexible and inviting while being durable and easy to maintain.
- Completion Date: 2009
- Project Cost: $1.3 million
