SUNY Geneseo successfully secured funding for four multimillion-dollar campus improvement projects that will significantly improve services for our campus community. These major initiatives are funded by the State University Construction Fund (SUCF).
Status updates for each of the projects are below.
College Circle Infrastructure Project
This approximately $10 million dollar infrastructure improvement project has provided a needed modernization of the infrastructure for that portion of the college campus and included new storm and sanitary sewers, domestic water supply, network infrastructure, and surface lighting.
College Circle between Welles and Brodie Hall has not been upgraded in nearly 60 years. In addition to the subsurface work, the project resulted in broader driving lanes, enhanced crosswalks, expanded sidewalks, new retaining walls, benches, improved landscaping, and a new college directory.
This project is currently complete and is open to the public and was on scope, on budget and ahead of schedule!
Milne Library Renovation
The Milne Library has held the Soft Opening on November 7, 2024 for the internal campus community. A public grand opening celebration will be held in the spring of 2025.
The Milne Library at SUNY Geneseo has undergone a significant renovation thanks to funding from the State University Construction Fund, financed by the State of New York.
Renovation highlights include large windows with beautiful views of the Genesee Valley, increased seating throughout the library, group study rooms, a brand new events/multipurpose room for campus activities, a new cafe serving a variety of food and beverages, improved traffic flow making it easier for students to grab meals on the go, new and improved lighting throughout the building, and more!
Facilities and library teams have led the Milne project, and many more are involved in this collaborative effort on this $40 million dollar renovation project.
Sturges Hall Renovation
This prioritized project aligns with our campus master planning and will be the first major renovation of Sturges Hall since the building was constructed in 1938.
Sturges will experience a complete renovation that will remove all interior walls and utilities while preserving historical significance of items such as the auditorium, grand tower stairway, windows, and clock. In addition, the renovated building will have many new classrooms and collaboration spaces, a tutoring center, a testing center, and a historically restored auditorium.
This is a $40 million dollar building renovation project scheduled to reopen for the 2027 academic year.

North Campus Infrastructure

In late Fall 2024, our Facilities Planning and Construction Team will launch a multiphase North Campus Infrastructure project to replace the underground electrical and telecommunication lines around north campus. Pedestrian walkways near Mary Jemison Dining Hall, Monroe Hall, Jones Hall, Steuben Hall, Livingston Hall, Allegany Hall, and Lauderdale Health Center may be intermittently affected in the initial phase.
This is project is estimated at $28 million dollars and is scheduled for a three year construction duration.
