The Consultant team led by SWBR Architects, with input from SUNY at Geneseo and the State University Construction Fund, has developed a design that will radically reconfigure this former “hard” sciences building into a social sciences center facing the campus’ formal College Green. Currently located in other campus academic buildings, the Psychology, Sociology, Geography and Anthropology programs will move into modern, comfortable and sustainably designed areas designed both for their current needs and future flexibility in the rehabilitated facility.

Bailey Hall will include shared spaces, including 10 general-use classrooms, casual interaction space for students and faculty, and a central two-story atrium that provides student common space. The concepts also reflect the intention of the Fund and requirements of NYS Executive Order 111 to design the rehabilitated Bailey Hall facility to a LEED^® Silver level of sustainability.
