When the City University of New York (CUNY) launched an exciting, new economic development program called NYDesigns, it needed a space equally innovative to house the operation. On the campus of LaGuardia Community College, a former warehouse space was converted and fit-out to create an open, airy layout; complete mechanical and electrical infrastructure upgrades were also needed as well as exterior window replacements.

NYDesigns serves as a catalyst for small businesses and entrepreneurs in the design, fabrication, technology and maker spaces by providing flexible workspace and access to a network of mentors and advisors. In addition to other amenities such as conference rooms with multimedia capabilities and state-of-the-art business technology, companies in the incubator facility also have access to a 5,000 sq. ft. fabrication lab that can be used to prototype design ideas.

CSU, founded in 1900, remains committed to delivering excellence in teaching and fostering student success. Honoring the legacy of Fanny Jackson Coppin, CSU continues to make a difference in the African American community. The University offers a range of programs, including 33 bachelor’s, 14 master’s, 14 certificate programs and a doctoral degree, reaffirming its dedication to educational excellence.

The proposed eight story residential hall will add 350 beds, totaling 109,000 gross sq. ft., to the existing 650-bed count at CSU. Centrally located in the heart of the Baltimore City campus, the residence tower will support the growing demand for on-campus living. Consigli was brought on board at the same time that the design team was named, allowing our preconstruction team to provide feedback at every design milestone in order to help guide a design that meets Client needs and budget. To overcome challenges on the urban campus, strategies such as early release packages, design-assist approaches and prefabrication will be employed to optimize schedule efficiencies, limit on-site labor and offset supply chain challenges. Utilization prefabrication like bathroom pods, light gauge metal framing, building facades and modular stair systems are several approaches that Consigli has developed with the design team to ensure a successful project delivery.

With an increase in student enrollment and a desire to offer a more traditional college experience, Dutchess Community College decided to build its first student housing complex. The 465-bed residence was constructed using an off-site modular construction method which allowed for minimum disruptions to campus life. The modular construction method is also environmentally friendly, contributes to LEED eligibility and promotes sustainability.

The residence hall, constructed of noncombustible materials, features spacious suite-style units with assorted bedroom configurations, one to two bathrooms, kitchenette and living room. It also includes lounges on each floor, a multi-purpose atrium, fitness center, laundry facilities and other amenities.

The project also included geothermal heating and cooling of the building in an environmentally friendly manner.

To accommodate their growing enrollment needs, Framingham State University built a new seven-story residence hall adding 410 beds in combinations of four and six-bed suite-style living spaces, common areas, lounges, bathrooms and kitchens on each floor. The building incorporates new campus green space to connect a series of previously separated residence halls. Sustainability was a key goal throughout the project, which included the installation of a geothermal slinky loop in the front courtyard.

Located on a tight site, in close proximity to a residential neighborhood and a busy highway, the North Hall project included significant campus infrastructure work. Previously on the site of the main campus parking lot, the project included demolition of the old lot, tree clearing, removal of concrete walks, walls, stairs and fencing and demolition of several existing houses. In addition, a new steam line tunnel was built to tie four buildings on campus together for tel/data and electric needs. Storm water improvements were made around the area of the new residence hall and the site was prepped for cutting and capping gas, drainage and sewer necessities. A new campus gateway was created, and lined with new walkways, stairs and landscaping.

The Aquatic Fitness Center (AFC) at GMU is used frequently by students, staff and the community. Its competition pool, measuring 25 yards by 50 meters, offers both lap swimming and recreational activities for all. With an all-tile deck and a state-of-the-art automated pool filtration system installed in 2007, the pool itself is in good shape.

This major renovation involves work in a fully functional and operational aquatic fitness center where Consigli’s experience and expertise was critical in addressing several significant logistical challenges. Access to the underside of the roof structure was built in the first summer of the project. This suspended “dance floor” allowed work to continue throughout the academic year while the pool continued to be used for competitions and training. All existing pool tile will be demolished and a new plaster coating with tile inlay will be installed. The competition pool area will have all new lighting and controls installed as well as new air handling units. The roof and window wall systems will be replaced. Additionally, the facility will be painted. Consigli developed a plan to perform as much work as possible leading up to the summer of 2024 where a significant amount of work will be condensed into the summer shutdown period.

Building 19 was built in 1847 as a storehouse for supplies and tanks as part of the Springfield Armory. After being vacant for many years, the Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management & Maintenance, along with Springfield Technical Community College (STCC), restored the National Registered Landmark to consolidate a Learning Commons, Student Administrative Services, Library and social spaces under one roof.

The renovations and modern additions to the expansive two-story, 765-foot-long building included the integration of all new systems into the historic fabric, masonry restoration and replacement of over 2,000 historic windows. Coordination with multiple historic agencies and archaeologists was required throughout the project. STCC students and staff were engaged throughout the project with internships and hands-on learning opportunities. The project is targeting LEED Silver certification.

Originally constructed in 1965, the previous home to the College of Science and Mathematics will be repurposed to house the College of Fine Arts and Communications and the Department of Electronic Media and Film, as well University’s Teaching and Learning Center. The renovated 220,000 sq. ft. Smith Hall will offer state-of-the-art facilities, such as a studio, sound stage, virtual reality animation space, newsroom and a screening theater.

The project begins with a year-long preconstruction effort with demolition to begin in the Fall of 2023. Consigli will be actively working with local MBE/SBE/DBE trade partners to exceed University of Maryland Baltimore’s small business goals.

The renovation will be a transformational opportunity to cultivate artists and communicators while continuing to expand Towson’s reputation in the arts and benefit the leading film program in Maryland and accommodate the 21-st century learning environment.
