Alfred State College (ASC) is celebrating the new look and amenities of the largest residence hall on campus with completion of phase one of its MacKenzie Makeover project. ASC will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 3 p.m. April 6 in the Commons area of the MacKenzie Complex.

Speakers for the event include many of the architects and contractors who have a special tie to the project since they once lived in MacKenzie. Alfred State President Dr. Skip Sullivan will be joined by representatives from ASC facilities, residential services, Mach Architecture, Pathfinder, LeChase Construction, and the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY).

Past and present residents of MacKenzie are invited to join the celebration. Tours of the newly renovated space will take place immediately following the ceremony, as guests will have a chance to see the amazing new amenities, new apartments, and craftsmanship of the building.

The first phase of the MacKenzie Makeover project wrapped up just prior to the start of the new semester, and the second phase is currently underway. Among the upgrades are a new dining area named “TimberLineZ,” a fitness center, a laundry facility, and informal gathering spaces showcasing fireplaces and water features.
