Design-Build in ActionNew Residence Hall for The College at Brockport“We’re proud to be thefirst campus in recentmemory in the SUNYsystem to team up withDASNY on a designbuild and panelizedconstruction project.”– Heidi Macpherson, Ph.D.PresidentThe College at BrockportWhen Heidi Macpherson, Ph.D. beganher tenure as the seventh president ofthe State University of New York’s TheCollege at Brockport in 2015, she hada vision of the future. She wanted tobuild a better Brockport.That vision led to the College’s strategic plan, which mapped out a seriesof initiatives between 2017 – 2022.Dr. Macpherson knew a bold stepneeded to be taken right out of thegate – a step that would improve thelives of students already on campus,and attract those hoping to join them.one of its longest-standing partners:DASNY.To make the project possible, DASNYdeployed design-build, an alternativedelivery tool that can be applied toSUNY projects. DASNY designed anew contract that incorporatedlessons learned from the past. Thecontract is now serving as a model forother design-build projects DASNY isexecuting for SUNY campuses acrossthe rest of the State.That step was a new 24 million residence hall, scheduled for completionin time for the fall 2018 semester. Toget this ambitious project completedexpertly and efficiently in a relativelyshort timeframe, the College turned toWhen ground was broken for theresidence hall project in March 2017,Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul touted howdesign-build would “translate into astreamlined timeline and budget.” Thecontract at The College at Brockportprovided flexibility for the selecteddesign and construction team toDormitory Authority State of New York2018 Annual Report9

The building features steel construction with concrete floors. It hasmodern fire-safety equipment, includingfull sprinkler and fire alarm systems, aswell as state-of-the-art security systemsand card access throughout. Thespaces in the building are built to fosterstudent learning and collaborative study,including a smart classroom, multipurpose room, and other features toenhance student interaction.“The construction of this new residencehall at SUNY College at Brockport isanother example of this administration’scommitment to investing in modernizing and updating our colleges and universities across New York,” GovernorAndrew M. Cuomo said. “Keeping ouruniversity campuses competitive andup-to-date is vital to ensuring we attractthe best and brightest to lead New Yorkinto the future.”10Dr. Gerrard Bushell, Rob Ryan, DASNY Director Construction/Western NY, andCollege President Dr. Heidi Macpherson toured the construction underway at thenew residence hall in June 2018.

Thecleanroom will play a major role in thefabrication of energy-efficient solarcells, hack-proof hardware — evendevices that can identify cancer cellsand revolutionize medicine.When working with technology on anano-scale, the tiniest of particles inthe air can affect the outcome of astudy. To maintain a level of cleanliness, the room uses high-efficiency airfilters and visitors are required to wearprotective gear such as gloves, hairnets, shoe covers and body suits.12“The Higher Education Capital Matching Grant Program (HECap) leveragesprivate investment with public dollarsto stimulate the economy and keepNew York competitive,” said DASNYPresident and CEO, Dr. Gerrard P.Bushell. “DASNY is pleased to administer this program and support importantprojects such as NYU’s ultra-cleanroom.New York is a leader in medical andscientific innovation. By helpingadvance projects such as this, we willempower scientists and open the doorto potential new cures and treatments— bringing hope to millions.”Funded in part by a 2.5 millionHECap grant administered by DASNY,Dr. Bushell visited the NanoFab Cleanroom fully equipped with a clean suitfor the reveal of the space. NYU beganfull operations in late spring 2018.

Helping Advance ScientificResearch and DevelopmentThe NYU Tandon NanofabricationCleanroom adds to the network offacilities in New York City that areenabling innovative research throughout the city. It was designed from thestart to complement cleanrooms atColumbia University and the CityUniversity of New York’s AdvancedScience Research Center (ASRC)NanoFabrication Lab. DASNY is proudto have assisted in financing the development of all three of these importantprojects.NYU teams already conductingresearch at the Columbia and CUNYcleanrooms are expected to transfersome of their work to the NYU Tandonsite, and researchers from those universities and others will be invited tomake use of the NanoFab Cleanroom.The first teams scheduled to use theNanoFab Cleanroom from NYU willinclude researchers in biomedical,chemical, electrical and mechanicalengineering, medicine, and physics.The lab contains state-of-the-art microelectronics processing equipment andatomic force microscopy for a widerange of research activities includingspintronics, nanoelectronics, biosensors, lab-on-a-chip technology, energydevices such as solar cells and batteries, biotechnology, microelectronics,and telecommunications.As a single example of its potential,researchers will be able to build andtest prototypes as they develop biomedical sensors that are small, flexible,able to transmit data at high speeds,and use little power — suitable foradvancing understanding of the brain,perhaps, or to diagnose from afar.Other researchers will be testingdevices to search for cancer at thecellular and molecular levels.Client cleanrooms in NYC:BronxCUNY ASRC/City College of New York85 St. Nicholas TerraceNew York, NY 10031ManhattanQueensColumbia University530 West 120th StreetSchapiro/CEPSR, MC 8903, Suite 1001New York, NY 10027NYU Tandon School of Engineering6 MetroTech Center, Rogers Hall 600Brooklyn, NY 11201BrooklynDormitory Authority State of New York2018 Annual Report13

DASNY Bonds Further Investment in RisingResearch Hub at Columbia UniversityBuilding on a solid foundation, DASNYcontinues to support Columbia University by proving low-cost, tax-exemptfinancing when needed.
