“An extremely aggressive schedule combined with severe winter conditions of bitter cold and a lot of snow threatened the move-in date. Use of modular construction was key in overcoming these challenges.”

Designed for modular construction to increase the speed of construction by Holmes, King & Kallquist, Centennial Hall, is the first residence hall at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF). It was erected and weather-tight in 10 weeks, allowing the project to be completed in 10 months. This offsite constructed student housing has been awarded Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program.

Centennial Hall was constructed to provide housing to undergraduate students at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse, NY. It was built at 4 and 5 stories with 9ft. ceilings and boasts three unique fully furnished apartment designs spread out in two wings. The 112,000+ square foot dormitory houses 452 students providing them amenities such as lounge areas, indoor bike storage and a laundry room. The builder and developers were chiefly focused on “green” and eco-friendly building products. 

Students can choose from three different apartment layouts which include 4 private bedrooms, 2 private bedrooms or a shared bedroom. The full bathrooms include Marmoleum floors, surface mount medicine cabinets and granite vanities. The kitchens include Energy Star refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, urea-free cabinets and granite counter tops.

This project was manufactured by Signature Building Systems of PA and finished on site by Hueber Breuer Construction.
