The S/L/A/M Collaborative, an architectural firm that specializes
in education, science & technology and healthcare, has been
chosen to design a new technology center for Buffalo State, State
University of New York. The $27 million facility will meet
anticipated programmatic and technical requirements, and replace
existing facilities that are inadequate for high tech manufacturing
research and instruction.
"Our planning and design goals include the creation of a building
that not only meets the technical needs of Buffalo State and its
neighboring industrial community," says Robert Pulito, president of
The S/L/A/M Collaborative, "but also serves as a vibrant campus
magnet and focal point."
The 100,000-sq.-ft. technology center will feature smart classrooms
and labs to accommodate technology-based programs, electrical
engineering, mechanical engineering, and technology education and
computer information technology. Spaces will be integrated and
easily reconfigured to accommodate new technology and evolving
curricula.
The building will be situated in the heart of the campus on land
currently occupied by old service buildings. Completion is planned
for 2011, with construction beginning in 2009.
