QUEENS COLLEGE–Queens College is undergoing significant renovation in Remsen Hall and the Science Building, with support from the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York, New York State’s capital project development authority, the financing and construction partner for the City University of New York.
The $7.2 million renovation projects will include the addition of multiple labs for faculty researchers in the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences in the Science Building and modernized chemistry laboratory space in Remsen Hall. The ongoing construction began this Fall and the project is anticipated to be completed by the end of this year, said Denese Gordon, QC Interim Assistant Vice President for Facilities Planning & Operation to The Knight News.
