The project is being requested at this time in order to meet the SUNY Capital Request deadline for inclusion in the NYS Budget Appropriations for 2026-2027. SUNY requires the resolutions before December 15, 2025. This project will focus on the design for Dutchess Hall. This will include the renovation of existing spaces and the addition of 8,300 sf to the south side of the building. The new addition will house the PVAC Communications studios, control rooms, editing rooms, workshop and musical instrument practice rooms. The interior renovations will update and refresh the classrooms, main stage theater, black box theater, transform and modernize the existing Ritz lounge and student activities offices into a multi- purpose conference center, address ADA compliance- including building code (restrooms, etc.), conduct asbestos abatement, update building electrical/mechanical systems, and create an interior access between Dutchess Hall and Drumlin Hall. The renovations and addition to Dutchess Hall support the College's wildly important goal of growing credit enrollment headcount over the next decade. These improvements are necessary to better support teaching, student engagement and support the college's pedagogical focus on creating more active and applied learning environments, particularly for faculty and students. The project will provide refreshed and reconfigured spaces to the outdated facilities such as the theater and will bring all the Performing Art programs together into a Center of Excellence for Humanities and the Arts. The building's infrastructure and envelope will be upgraded to reduce energy consumption as well as maintenance and operating costs. The renovations and addition will also provide the necessary swing space to allow for repurposing and renovating the Center for Business and Industry (CBI) and Hudson Hall. The Arts are critical to the rich cultural fabric of any community, but is especially core to life in the Hudson Valley. When it is completed, this Center of Excellence will be a home for the development of another generation of artists, a public hub for the Arts in the community and an even stronger partner with enterprises such as Mid- Hudson Arts, and Destination Dutchess. This facility currently serves students and hosts many college and community events annually. The repurposed and renovated Center of Excellence will provide more flexible meeting and event spaces configurable for conferences, lectures, workshops, receptions and community events. The total estimated cost of the project is $3,219,000. The sponsor share of the project, $1,609,500, would be bonded/funded by Dutchess County.
