Workforce Development CASE STUDY
Monroe community college gleason hall of Applied science and technology
MCC completed a major renovation to Building 9, the Gleason Hall of Science & Technology. The multi-million dollar project took more than 3-years to complete. Building 9, one of the original campus buildings was erected over 40 years ago, and was the first on campus to be completely gutted and re-configured in order to meet the needs of Technical Education now and in the future. The building houses several technology-based academic laboratories as well as lecture rooms and a state-of-the-art greenhouse. It also encompasses the newly built Wolk Nursing Center which was completed three years ago. The first Phase of the multi-phase project was completed over the summer of 2008 and included project prep work, four new labs, a complete new roof and upgrades to the building’s HVAC system. Engineering Technologies labs completed during that first phase were two new Electronic Technology Labs and a brand new CAD (computer-aided drafting/design) lab for the Mechanical Technology program. Also completed were two new Construction Technology labs, the new Engineering Tech Computer Lab, two new Optical Tech Labs an Electronic Technology lab and a new Electronic Learning Center for Engineering Technologies Department students to use.

“Workforce development is critical to the successful implementation of each of the Next Generation Strategies and to ensuring innovation and growth in America's manufacturing sector. With an estimated 600,000 manufacturing jobs going unfilled, we still need to arm elementary, secondary and post-secondary education providers with the tools and resources to teach the building blocks of manufacturing skills: math, science, technology, engineering (STEM), emotional intelligence, communication, teamwork, decision-making, initiative and collaboration."

Advanced Research CASE STUDY
CORNELL UNIVERSITY RILEY robb hall: cellulosic ethanol research LABS
SWBR Architects provided design services for the expansion of the BioFuels Research Lab on the Cornell University Campus. Led by Dr. Larry Walker, a leading researcher in the production of ethanol, SWBR transformed a portion of the existing Riley Robb building into a state of the art bio-fuels research facility. In addition, SWBR relocated the Soil and Water researchers in the existing Riley Robb building to another location, thereby providing them with more suitable space for their research and development activities. The project was designed as a LEED certified project and includes the addition of a new mechanical penthouse which serves both projects and has the ability to be expandable for future growth. In April 2010, Riley Robb Hall was awarded LEED Gold by the US Green Building Council.

Incubator Facility CASE STUDY
High Tech Rochester
50,000 SF office and manufacturing incubator facility with room for 18 to 25 small businesses. Completed with a construction cost of $5,000,000. This business incubator is intended to help new business by offering low rents for work space, shared services and advisory services. Tenants are not expected to remain in the incubator for more than three years, as it is intended to graduate them into the community as they grow, develop, and create jobs. SWBR designed all tenant spaces within the facility to meet the specific requirements of the users. To date, HTR has incubated more than 75 companies and worked with dozens of small to mid-sized manufacturers, offering extensive handson coaching, mentoring, and other assistance to accelerate their business growth. To “graduate� from HTR’s mentoring and incubator programs, companies must have achieved customer validation in the way of purchase and use of their product or service, and they must have raised sufficient capital to sustain their business going forward.
