NEW HIGHWAY FACILITY C&S designed a new 53,000-square-foot

regional highway department maintenance

facility for Madison County on a reclaimed gravel bed, replacing a building that had

reached its useful life. The site includes the main building, cold storage, material lay-

down areas, a fuel station, and a salt storage building, with improved access roads for efficient traffic flow.

Inside, the facility features a large

drive-through vehicle storage bay, four maintenance bays with lifts and hoist

coverage, an adjacent welding area, and a wash bay integrated into the traffic route.

Additional spaces include parts and tire

storage, open office areas, break and locker rooms designed for cleanliness, and a

conference/training room for DPW and

regional by for other County departments.

This project earned the NYS APWA Project of the Year in the Small Cities/Rural Communities Structures Category and an ACEC New York 2022 Engineering Excellence Silver Award.

PROPOSED HIGHWAY FACILITY C&S developed a master plan for

St. Lawrence County to relocate its main Highway Department facility from the

Village of Canton to the Town of Potsdam.

The study evaluated existing structures

for safety, energy efficiency, and longevity, then analyzed spatial needs for improved functionality.

Following the study, C&S was retained to design and bid the project, which

included overall site improvements such as a water tower and septic system, a

new 4,600-square-foot wood-framed

administration building, a 26,000-squarefoot steel maintenance building, a

5,000-square-foot cold storage pole barn,

an expanded fuel island, and a new weights and measures station.

NEW HIGHWAY, OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, AND PUBLIC HEALTH FACILITY C&S provided full-service architecture and engineering for the complete renovation of Yates County’s 7.6-acre highway

department campus. The project included a new 50,000-square-foot shared-use facility, salt storage building, and fuel farm, along

with selective demolition and rehabilitation of existing structures to improve efficiency.

The new facility consolidates spaces

for the Highway Department, Office of Emergency Management, and Public

Health Department, featuring maintenance bays with lifts and cranes, a welding bay, wash bay, and parts storage, as well as

offices, breakrooms, and a large training/ emergency operations center.

Site improvements included a relocated

fuel facility and designated space for future

OEM training. Building upgrades enhanced energy efficiency and unified the campus aesthetic.

This project received the 2026 ACEC New York Diamond Award

SNOW REMOVAL EQUIPMENT BUILDING EXPANSION C&S designed a 61,615-square-foot expansion to the Gerald R. Ford International Airport’s field

maintenance facility to accommodate its extensive

Snow Removal Equipment and Airfield Maintenance

fleet. After evaluating multiple options, the preferred

solution maximized storage and ensured safe vehicle movement within a constrained site.

The project required relocating the existing fuel

and runway de-icing chemical facility, which C&S expedited to enable construction. The new pre-

engineered metal building includes SRE storage,

chemical storage, mechanical and IT spaces, and matches the appearance of the existing facility.

Extensive site work included demolition, drainage, and grading modifications.

The replacement fuel and chemical facility was

completed in fall 2023, paving the way for SRE

construction in spring 2024 to be completed before the snow season.

This project received the 2026 ACEC New York Silver Award

“

They made sure to keep our program everpresent and the schedule and budget on target, while leading the whole construction team on a project we are all proud of.

NEW PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY C&S led a master planning effort to

consolidate multiple Niagara County

Department of Public Works departments into a single, centralized campus. The plan included space programming, condition assessments, and stakeholder input to

guide phased renovations, demolitions, and new construction within budget and future growth considerations.

The project advanced to full design for site development and two new buildings: a

19,000-square-foot administration building combining all office functions with shared conference and training spaces, and a

32,000-square-foot vehicle storage building designed for indoor fleet storage, minor maintenance, and a full wash bay. Both

buildings feature durable, low-maintenance

materials and a modern industrial aesthetic.

Site improvements include upgraded

utilities, stormwater management, and infrastructure for fire suppression and consolidated electrical service.

This project is currently under construction

and scheduled for winter 2026 completion.

ARFF/SNOW REMOVAL EQUIPMENT BUILDING C&S designed and managed construction of a new 14,000-square-foot facility

that accommodates all vehicles and

administrative staff at Hudson Valley Regional Airport.

The building has indoor parking for two

ARFF vehicles, two plows, a snow blower,

and a lift for maintenance. There is space for workbenches and tools as well as an

oil storage room and access to a storage

mezzanine, shower and locker facilities, and a turnout storage and decontamination room.

The office wing has space for large training sessions and a general break room.

The large, curved roof of the garage bays is

offset by the lower administration wing, and the exterior comprises varying scales and

types of metal panels over a CMU base to

create visual interest. It is durable and easy to maintain.

ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES TERM AGREEMENT MAINTENANCE FACILITIES As part of architectural term agreements for the Allegany, Genesee, and Taconic regions,

C&S has designed maintenance facilities for use by Parks and Regional maintenance staff.

Letchworth State Park C&S lead the design for a

new 10,000-square-foot North Maintenance Facility with

offices, restrooms, break room, lockers, and a high-bay area featuring four repair bays,

wood and paint shops, and

bulk storage. The site design

included shared infrastructure for a future police station and a 950,000-gallon pond for

firefighting and stormwater

management. Sustainability elements included roof-

mounted solar panels, a

geothermal system, and bioretention swales.

Allegany State Park C&S is designing a 13,000-square-foot regional

maintenance facility with eight repair bays—two pull-through and one for metal welding—plus storage and a small engine repair room. The 2,900-square-foot support space includes

offices, restrooms, break room, and lockers. Site design addresses steep slopes, wet soils, and

wetlands, and requires coordination with other projects such as a salt shed, future fuel facility, and sanitary sewer upgrades.

Rockefeller State Park Preserve C&S designed phased storage facilities and a new parking area, using the existing visitor complex

as inspiration for the building’s aesthetic. Phase 1 included a 750-square-foot heated storage facility

completed in 2019. Phase 2 will add a 1,560-square-foot, two-bay unheated storage facility, and Phase 3 will create a 75-space parking area and new circulation patterns for tractor trailers. Sustainability

features include solar-ready roofs, stormwater bio-retention swales, EV charging stations, and dark-sky compliant lighting.

FEASIBILITY STUDY C&S has partnered with the City of Saratoga Department of Public Works to assess current and future needs. The

existing facility is outdated, structurally deficient, and no longer meets safety, accessibility, or energy standards. Storage limitations and non-compliant mezzanines create operational and life safety concerns, while the building’s layout and envelope are inefficient. To address these issues, we recommend either a complete overhaul—stripping the building

to its structure, replacing underground piping, and rebuilding to meet modern codes—or constructing a new facility.

After evaluating four City-owned sites, C&S has identified one preferred location and is developing a proposed site plan and budget for the project.

FACILITY STUDY C&S conducted a study to consolidate and relocate all City of Watertown public works buildings. We analyzed

existing department spaces and collaborated with key stakeholders to develop a plan that meets current building

and energy codes, safety standards, and operational efficiency. A matrix of four potential sites was evaluated for size,

constructability, soil conditions, wetlands, and environmental concerns; however, none met the City’s needs. Using this

analysis, we determined the required square footage and prepared a narrative to support a cost estimate. C&S is now working with the DPW facilities group to review three additional sites at a high level.

NEW HIGHWAY GARAGE C&S began a master planning effort with the Town of

Hamilton to replace its existing highway garage complex.

We started with a small

scope to minimize municipal

expenditures and right-size a

new facility to replace the aging complex. Site investigations

were completed, and new floor

and site plans were developed, including an opinion of probable construction cost. It was determined that the existing site was not suitable for the proposed operations, which led to the purchase of a

new location to reduce capital expenditures. Detailed design of a new highway garage, administrative

office, salt storage and brine building, fuel facility, and overall site improvements is currently underway.

MASTER PLAN A master plan was developed for the Town of Orchard Park to document existing conditions and determine future needs to best utilize the existing campus. In a phased approach a new fuel facility a new salt building and topsoil building, and a new 60,000 SF maintenance and storage building being designed.
