Governor Kathy Hochul announced the design phase is set to begin for the $450 million hospital annex at the State University of New York Upstate Medical. The design will feature a new, expanded emergency department and burn unit to serve the Central New York Region.
Funding for the new hospital annex was proposed by the SUNY Board of Trustees late last year and was approved by Governor Hochul and the State Legislature in the FY26 Enacted Budget. The project garnered widespread support from the Central New York and Mohawk Valley State Legislative delegations, as well as local and statewide labor organizations.
The design contract was approved by the New York State Office of the State Comptroller. Cannon Design Architecture and Engineering, P.C. will lead the design work and subcontract with a number of subconsultants, most of which are designated as a Minority Owned or Women Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE) as well as a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business (SDVOB), enabling the firm to meet or exceed the goals of 15 percent MBE, 15 percent WBE and six percent SDVOB.
