First Columbia, New Office Bld’g, 24 Century Hill Dr.

Specs:

Square Footage: 45,000 Client: First Columbia Location: Latham

About the Project:

This beautiful office building was designed to fulfill the vision of the New York State School Boards Association; a contemporary design utilizing elements of early 20th century school design. Highly visible from the Adirondack Northway this unique structure stands out from the standard "box" buildings being constructed in the area today.

Completed as a turn key project, this four-story, 60,000-square-foot structure is built into the side of a hill, allowing the building's lower level to have at-grade access from the rear, which is ideal for daily building deliveries and for the owner's desire to have a private outdoor patio.

Once again on this project, Keystone's skills in designing interior space to meet extensive fit-up requirements, resulted in a building which provides the owner and tenants with the most functional space.

As with many of the developers for whom Keystone Architectural Services provides architectural design, Keystone has teamed with First Columbia on a number of projects. Because of this longstanding relationship, Keystone is thoroughly familiar with First Columbia's preferred construction methods. Consequently, the design and construction documents for this project were assembled quickly and efficiently, allowing First Columbia to meet the tenants' time schedules.

First Columbia Testimonial
We have had the pleasure of working with Keystone Architectural Services on numerous projects over the past 12 years totaling over 50,000 square feet.
Bill, David and staff have responded to our needs and have approached every project with mindful design and budget expectations.

Their upfront planning and coordination efforts have proved invaluable in today’s world of Building Code Compliance and complex construction methods.

Keystone’s involvement during the concept phase right through construction has resulted in many successful, cost effective and appealing projects.

We look forward to completing future projects with Keystone Architectural Services.
