Construction Projects
Several construction projects are underway on campus that will reshape, resurface, and reform SUNY Geneseo for the better.
Please note that this information is subject to change, and frequently does, as construction progresses. Timelines often shift due to weather, supplies, and other external factors. Facilities staff are in communication with the contractors and will keep this page updated to the best of their abilities. If you have any questions, please email facilitiesupdates@
*NEW* Beginning on Monday, May 20th, the closure of College Drive will be extended further west from the College Circle to the Saratoga Terrace Townhouses. The extended closure of College Drive will also cause the closure of parking lots Z, B and BB. The service area for both Welles Hall and South Hall will also be closed during the construction. Main building entrances to South Hall and Welles Hall will remain open.
This initiative supports the essential infrastructure repairs such as the installation of new water lines and fire hydrants, new crosswalks featuring flashing lights for enhanced safety, improved lighting infrastructure, and the resurfacing of the asphalt roadway.
In light of these parking lot closures, employees may utilize parking lots T, TT, and L. As a reminder the College has a Flexible Work Schedule Program for the Summer Employees should consider utilizing this program, where possible, given changes to on campus parking for the summer months.
The construction teams will work throughout the summer. The anticipated completion is expected to be right before the start of the Fall 2024 semester. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding during this period of enhancement and renewal.

SUNY Geneseo successfully secured funding for three 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 Infrastructure Project
The estimated $10 million improvement project will provide a needed modernization of the infrastructure for that portion of the campus and includes 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 will result in broader driving lanes, enhanced crosswalks, expanded sidewalks, new retaining walls, benches, improved landscaping, and a new college directory.
This project is currently in construction and is expected to continue for 18 months, with College Drive scheduled to reopen in Fall of 2024, and the entire project scheduled to be completed in the Spring of 2025.
Milne Library Renovation
The Milne Library at SUNY Geneseo is undergoing 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 are leading the Milne project, and many more are involved in this collaborative effort.
Reopening of the Milne Library is scheduled for the 2024-2025 academic year.
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.
Scheduled reopen during the 2026-2027 academic year.
