ESF is currently renovating Marshall Hall, the second oldest building at the College's Syracuse campus. It is a total of 87,530 gross square feet with about 54,883 net square feet in its existing configuration. The proposed design is 93,380 sq. ft., including a new external elevator/stair tower addition. The current layout accommodates 49,493 net square feet. The project is likely to be certified LEED Silver (BD+C) and should be substantially completed by the 2023 reporting cycle.
