NY State to Spend $47M on Harriman State Office Campus

Building 5 on the Harriman State Office Campus in Albany, New York, a seven-story building that has sat vacant since 2004 when the Department of Transportation moved its operations to Colonie, will get a $47 million refit from the state. According to an official in Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration, Building 5 would be used to centralize administrative services for various state agencies. The renovated property would add 1,400 jobs to the campus and house the service center created to consolidate human resources, financial and other back-office functions.

Built during the 1950s and 1960s , the W. Averell Harriman State Office Building Campus houses sixteen New York State Government office buildings and totals roughly 330 acres and over 3 million square feet of office space. Asbestos abatement is scheduled to begin this fall with construction expected to take about 18 months, according to a Times Union article.
