New St. Regis Mohawk Tribe Planning and Infrastructure Division building nears completion

Posted

AKWESASNE -- A new St. Regis Mohawk Tribe Planning and Infrastructure Division building is nearly complete with the construction anticipated to come in under budget, according to tribal officials.

The building is located at 2817 State Route 95 in Akwesasne and was designed by Tisdel Associates and is being built by Danko Construction Inc. of Massena.

When mostly completed in April, the pre-engineered metal building will include 11,600 square feet of space, five vehicle bays, eight work stations, conference room and storage areas.

“There will be some additional work to do outside, dependent upon the weather--plantings and landscaping,” SRMT spokesman Brendan White said.

The cost is $2.6 million and is projected to come in $300,000 under budget, White said.

It includes high-efficiency lighting and sensors, a radiant floor heating system and roof-mounted solar photovoltaic panels, as well as two distinct areas separated by a fire-rated wall.

Danko will also demolish the division’s existing building, former Hogansburg-Akwesasne Volunteer Fire Department Fire Station #1, Gray Street.

That part the project will begin in late spring and is part of the contract for the new P&I building, White said.
