NEW SIX-STORY BUILDING PLANNED AT D’YOUVILLE
Monday, March 24, 2008
Part of Campus Growth to Service Students
Buffalo - D’Youville College will begin construction of a new six-story, 93,000 square foot academic building in May. It will be located on the corner of Connecticut and Fargo streets, currently the site of a college parking lot.
The $20 million structure will house classrooms, laboratories, student service, faculty, and college operation offices, conference rooms, and also include facilities for a planned pharmacy program.
Designed by Cannon Design of Grand Island, it will feature modern mosaic precast, brick and glass panels, cultured stone and brick on the exterior with appropriate street landscaping on the Connecticut Street side.
“The building will be designed to allow the addition of features such as a connector and other amenities in the future,” according to Donald G. Keller, vice president of operations at the college.
Parking that will be displaced by the new facility will move to college lots on Connecticut and West Avenue adjacent to the college.
The building will accommodate the increase in students the college has seen during the past decade. In addition to a growing student body of U.S. students, more than 800 Canadians out of approximately 3000 enrolled students currently attend the private college.
“The college has no plans for any major new buildings for the foreseeable future.” Keller said.
D’Youville, currently celebrating its centennial, has invested more than $70 million in its West Side campus over the past 12 years.
