Deep Energy Retrofit at Buffalo State College

The next wave of environmentally-conscious design goes beyond merely reducing negative impacts to buildings that positively contribute to the environment through regenerative design. Tomorrow’s buildings will generate more power than they consume, harvest more water than they use, and become inseparably connected with their local ecosystems. As we reimagine existing buildings and campuses, transformation through adaptive reuse and deep energy retrofit are essential first steps to discovering efficient and future-focused uses for existing facilities.

Electing to revitalize existing campus assets through renovation and deep energy retrofit is a highly sustainable undertaking and we are delighted to partner with Buffalo State College on the strategic renewal of the Classroom Building. This project will secure a vital campus asset and provide optimal academic spaces for student success for decades to come!

Solar Building Design

The sun is the most efficient source of energy available for human consumption. Photovoltaic systems, commonly known as solar arrays, give us the ability to actively integrate this abundant energy with the function and design of a building.

Spring Renewal

With our roots in Buffalo NY, it has always been imperative for our team at A|r to be four-season thinkers and designers. The elements have a profound and ever-changing effect on any built space, and the best designs use them to their advantage.

Oneonta Welcome Center

A Welcome Center is the heart of a campus, and perhaps the most vital building in student life. It is an inviting place which encourages social interaction, recreation, and the sharing of ideas.

Flex Classrooms

We know that a learning experience has as much to do with our environment as it does the teachers and students that create those experiences. After the past year, we have all gained a profound appreciation of how important these are to foster development and ignite a love for learning.
