Campus Construction Updates
Our historic campus requires particular attention and investment to sustain its beauty and usefulness. Check this page regularly for updates on facilities renovations and construction projects.
Innovation Center
This $50-million, 41,000-square-foot facility will be equipped with best-in-class technologies and resources and will be situated between Burke Library and Taylor Science Center. Enabling work will begin in early September 2024 and continue throughout the fall before construction begins during the winter. The building is expected to open for classes in early 2027.
Sage Rink
Recent renovations include new exterior siding and roofing to address building envelope issues, mechanical and HVAC system improvements, new ice and refrigeration system, and new state-of-the-art boards and glass.
Facilities Master Plan
The College has commenced a campus master planning process to create a vision and 10+ year roadmap for developing and improving Hamilton's physical campus. Focus areas include transforming the residential experience, amplifying access to academic resources, and creating a thriving center of campus life along Martin’s Way. This work is being done in partnership with an interdisciplinary team of planners and designers from Sasaki and with broad consultation and engagement with campus community members.
