Redefining a Buffalo landmark
This AK360 Campus Development and Expansion Project to expand and upgrade the original 1905 and 1962 expansion facilities. The proposed program for this project consists of 43,500 square feet of renovated space, 67,000 net square feet of new space, and a 60,000-square-foot underground parking garage with 100 spaces. Located within a historic Olmsted Park setting, other enhancements include a glass bridge that curves around a grove of oak trees that are over one hundred years old, allowing visitors to walk between the original buildings and the new Gundlach building.
The project involved coordination between multiple agencies, including the City of Buffalo, Buffalo Sewer Authority, Olmsted Parks Conservancy, and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). The team aided in permitting with the City of Buffalo, State, and local agencies, SGCC provided all onsite concrete development, including but not limited to heated sidewalks, concrete roadway placement for art deliveries and structural slabs for Italian marble pavers. The museum reopened in the summer of 2023 and has already demonstrated the impact it’s had on its community. This museum continues to provide a world class facility in which to view its collection of modern art, art classes, concerts, and a free outdoor gathering space for the community to enjoy. SGCC was honored to be apart of the project.
