Health Sciences Tower Renovation SUNY Stony Brook University, NY

Stony Brook, New York, USA

THE BRIEF

Nearly fifty years after it was built, the Health Sciences Tower is undergoing a major facade upgrade. The project replaces the original facade system with a new high-performance enclosure while maintaining ongoing building operations.

   Santiago, Chile | Offices | Handel Architects, Mas Arquitectos | Completed October 2024 | Custom window wall and curtain wall systems with low-e insulated glass, timber screens, integrated balconies and shading.|

Strategy

The project involves removing the existing shotcrete facade and supporting steel trusses before replacing them with a new unitised enclosure system, all while the building remains occupied. We’re helping Triton Construction plan and sequence the facade replacement to help manage the complexity.

RESULT

The Health Sciences Tower remains fully occupied while undergoing a complete facade transformation, demonstrating the value of careful planning and sequencing.
