"Behind the Design" is a webisode series featuring CSArch design team members that dives deeper into the planning, design, and construction of our projects.
In this video, the CSArch team dives deeper into the renovation and adaptive reuse of a historic building on University at Albany's downtown campus. Originally constructed in 1912, the 129,000 sf former Albany High School was transformed into the University's state-of-the-art College of Nanotechnology, Science and Engineering to provide cutting edge programming and research that advances workforce development. Watch the video to learn how our architects and engineers worked together to solve complex design problems while maintaining the historic integrity of the original building.
