Mitchell Giurgola is proud to announce that the Houghton Hall renovation at SUNY Fredonia received a SARA NY Design Award of Honor. The renovation enlivens the building’s original dark interior by reconfiguring the corridors to allow natural light to penetrate new communal spaces. The LEED silver-rated design replaced failing brick and obsolete windows with a highly insulated brick veneer and curtain wall envelope, bringing forth a welcoming façade composed of innovative, contemporary building systems appropriate for the 21st-century academic environment.
