Construction of Milstein Hall may finally begin later this year after a string of design proposals, licensing disagreements and costly delays. Six years since the project’s inception, construction of the newest addition to the College of Architecture, Art and Planning has left many students confused.
The building is currently in the construction document phase, which should be completed by the end of May. Local planning firm Trowbridge and Wolf is in the process of creating a draft environmental impact statement, following an outline of issues to be evaluated before construction begins. The City of Ithaca Planning and Development Board is overseeing this environmental review process.
