Bonacci Architects was selected to conduct feasibility studies for four Girl Scout camps in the NYPENN region.  The study will help identify and establish strategies for camp improvements to enhance the camping experience for Girl Scouts and outside users.  We were also charged with selecting one camp site for a comprehensive Master Plan process that will lay the groundwork for significant development at that designated camp with the goal of long-range sustainability of all the camps.

Our firm was selected as a result of a design competition for the new location of the Foundation. We are extremely proud to be working with the Foundation on this exciting next chapter of their history. We have been charged with the transformation of a former church facility into the new community based headquarters for the Foundation. Having outgrown their current location, the new location provides numerous opportunities to better serve the community.  Please see attached preliminary exterior renderings of that transformation. Construction is anticipated to begin in April of 2014.

Construction will begin this spring of two new buildings on the Humphrey Gardens campus in North Utica. The new buildings will provide the Authority with (12) apartments, a much needed community room and support offices. The new design will provide a pleasant and intimate courtyard created by the strategic positioning of the buildings on the site. The new design will also mark the Authority’s departure from previous institutional design towards a more inviting and user friendly aesthetic.

Bonacci Architects continue to assist Herkimer ARC on the development and fit-up of their successful German St. facility.  The former mill building continues to attract tenant prospects in this resurrected facility. The warm and inviting exposed brick and timber frame make for wonderful interior space for tenants and visitors alike. Window replacement will continue thanks to a successful NYS regional economic council submission. Start or grow your business in this great building with a great location!

We are currently working with two owners of adjacent former mill type buildings in the Historic Bagg Square West area of downtown Utica.  The area is undergoing a surge of redevelopment and reinvestment on the heels of much anticipated positive economic news for the Mohawk Valley.  The buildings will be redeveloped as mixed-use buildings with upper floor luxury loft apartments.  For sustainability and economy, the owners intend to develop shared parking and elevator service for both buildings.  Construction is anticipated to begin this summer.  Watch for progress information and photos.

Construction will be completed this summer on the new receiving area for the complex.  The new design successfully resolves numerous problems with the existing receiving area location providing the County with improved efficiency and safety.
