SUNY Albany – School of Business

OVERVIEW
SUNY Albany's new School of Business will serve as the hub of learning and innovation for the university’s business students. At entry level, the two-story concourse creates a pedestrian street, linking various business programs within the building, and the training lab adjacent to the main entry. A second-level common-room will encourage informal gatherings, inter-program collaboration, and extended learning outside the classroom. The school, which connects to an existing structure, required partial demolition. Langan completed the asbestos, lead-based paint and PCB inspection and reported findings to the client. Our services included a review of original design documents for the building, interviews with personnel familiar with the building, and performance of an asbestos investigation to confirm the presence (or absence) of hazardous containing materials.

Westchester Financial Center

OVERVIEW
The Westchester Financial Center consists of approximately 309,000 SF of existing Class A office space in downtown White Plains. Langan worked closely with the owner and architect to re-imagine this site in a much more pedestrian-friendly way. The main concept was to pull nature back into the concrete-heavy character of White Plains by incorporating ecological design. With this in mind, the streetscapes and 3-tier interior rooftop courtyards were designed using our concept of the Southern Taconic Ecological Precinct, or S.T.E.P. This unique design infuses the multi-level pedestrian space with an educational landscape that includes native species in varying layers of the local, southern New York landscape while creating an interactive outdoor office and café to enhance the office experience.
