SUNY New Paltz routinely undergoes renovations, modernization/upgrades, infrastructure replacements, and new construction projects. In 2017, the college hired CSArch under a three-year Term Contract to provide design and construction services for a variety of small renovation projects and various studies and investigative reports.

As part of the Architectural Term Contract, CSArch provided renovations to the Jacobson Faculty Tower Building. This project involved the planning, design, and construction administration for the renovation of the existing 3,000 sf JFT lobby into an updated space with a liberal arts and science focus. This includes demolition of an existing food service area, partial or complete removal of the existing ceiling, and removal of existing fixed furniture. The space contains new lighting and ceiling, new furniture, displays for student work, refinished existing flooring, as well as possible paint and minor electrical upgrades that could include charging stations for digital devices.
