2007 April 27

The University announced a $4 million plan to redesign the entry plaza on Washington Avenue. The plan was developed by landscape architect Thomas Balsley of Thomas Balsley Associates of New York City. The rough cobble stone style granite pavers will be taken up and replaced by smooth pavers, and green space will be greatly expanded allowing commencements to be held in the new area. The space will include a large fountain area. Assistance with funding the project was given by New York State Assembly Majority Leader Ron Canestrari.
