3. Site Plan Review
A. Statler Hall, East Avenue Entry Renovations & Second Floor Infill, Statler Hall, 106 Statler Dr., Cornell
University Campus, Davies Orinda, Applicant for Cornell University. Public Hearing, Determination of
Environmental Significance, and Consideration of Preliminary & Final Approval. The applicant proposes to infill
the second‐floor atrium area to create academic program space and increase energy‐efficiency in winter. A
major goal for the entry renovation is to create a sustainable and long‐lasting structure, which will deal with air
infiltration effectively and efficiently by not allowing excessive heat loss and by conditioning the air captured in
an adjusted volume of space. The design reconfigures the entry and re‐orients the entrance doors towards the
south. The project adds 319 SF to the ground floor and 1,300 SF to the second floor, and aims to provide a
consistent architectural vocabulary with the recently renovated parts of Statler Hall along Campus Road and
Statler Drive. The project also includes a new sidewalk and corner treatment, outdoor gathering space, seating,
and lighting. This is an Unlisted Action under the City of Ithaca Environmental Quality Review Ordinance and the
State Environmental Quality Review Act, and is subject to environmental review.
