This Campus Heritage Preservation Plan has been prepared for the State University of New York at Albany, with funding from the Getty Foundation, as part of the Getty’s Campus Heritage Initiative. The purpose of this program was to help colleges and universities with architecturally significant campuses in identifying, surveying, assessing, analyzing, and planning for the future of their historic resources. The University at Albany will use this report as a tool to guide preservation and future development of the campus designed by renowned architect Edward Durell Stone.
