Savarino Co oversaw Phase I renovations of the fifth floor of Cooke Hall in the Hochstetter Complex at the University at Buffalo.

The project transformed a 1970s-era space into a state-of-the-art research facility for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty in the biological and geological sciences. Updates included new laboratories, offices, and collaborative spaces designed to foster interdisciplinary interaction and support the university’s broader campus modernization efforts.
