Hobart and William Smith Colleges engage in construction and home improvement services primarily through campus development and architectural planning in support of their institutional growth. Their on-campus architectural division is responsible for maintaining, renovating, and constructing educational and residential facilities, ensuring functionality, sustainability, and historical preservation across their historic Geneva, NY campus. As a private liberal arts college, HWS emphasizes environmentally conscious design and long-term infrastructure planning that supports both academic and student life.

The institution’s facilities team often collaborates with architects, engineers, and local contractors to design and implement projects that reflect the campus’s architectural heritage while integrating modern, energy-efficient systems. Notable projects have included restoration of historic buildings, the development of state-of-the-art academic spaces, and creation of community-focused living environments. HWS places a strong emphasis on sustainable building practices aligned with environmental stewardship, often incorporating LEED principles in their renovations.

Their commitment to preserving the cultural integrity of the college’s historic structures while meeting evolving educational needs exemplifies a thoughtful approach to construction and design.
