Mission Accomplished!
DORM HOUSING - 128 Apartments. 8 Floor Plans. A big WIN for students and the Albany Campus. HDG recently completed renovations at SUNY Albany’s Liberty Terrace, bringing fresh finishes, updated kitchens, lighting, and durable materials to student apartments. All while keeping portions of the building occupied. Smart planning and careful phasing equals success and pizzazz! As always, its a pleasure working with Albany's campus.

LET'S TALK PLANNING. In the world of design and building, planning turns, “we have an IDEA” into “we have PROOF.” This is how HDG does it...

1. We help formalize the mission
Purpose. Priorities. Budget. Stakeholders. We help everyone get on the same page

2. We map the space
Rooms, adjacencies, circulation, operations, and growth potential

3. We study what exists
Site visits and real-world conditions

4. We identify the rules of the road
Traffic patterns, zoning, and approval hurdles

5. We test the possibilities
Early diagrams, concept studies, risks, opportunities

RESULTS:
We deliver a clear ...next step...fact based path before major time and money are committed.

Lincoln Park Outdoor Classroom update: we’re in the home stretch! 🎉
The exposed timber-and-steel connections look sharp. The light-filtering rooftop is doing exactly what it was designed to do—bringing in beautiful daylight without the glare. The Learning Cube is in place, ready for instruction and student creativity.

Huge thanks to Underground Railroad Education Center for an awesome tour of the historic 1800s home of abolitionists Stephen & Harriet Myers. Our team left inspired (and a little humbled)—Albany history hits different when you’re standing right where it happened.

Before ➝ After: this bridge renovation shows how a focused envelope upgrade can completely improve the users experience moving through campus.

BEFORE - this foot bridge started as a darkened over time structure, very much in step with the university’s "brutalist" style made popular in the 60's and 70's. AFTER - our re-imagined glass foot bridge softens that character with transparency and daylight: it opens views to the landscape, and provides the path with a crisp, cleaner contemporary identity—while still respecting the strength of the existing historical nature of the buildings architecture.

Let’s talk NATURAL LIGHT. From office buildings to university spaces—we’ve seen how "biophilic design" can meaningfully improve the day-to-day experience of a building. When a decades-old façade is upgraded with a new "CURTAIN WALL SYSTEM", it increases daylight pe*******on into interior zones that were previously limited by small openings or compartmentalized layouts, and it reestablishes visual connection to the outdoors.

On these projects, we expanded existing window openings and installed high-performance, energy-efficient glazing to enhance comfort and efficiency. The impact is immediate: students and staff feel more grounded, more at ease, and more welcomed the moment they walk in.
