Savarino Co served as the general contractor for the new University at Buffalo’s Eve Educational Opportunity Center (EOC), a 68,000-square-foot academic and workforce training facility on Ellicott Street. Designed to replace the EOC’s former location, the new building significantly expanded its capacity to serve more than 2,000 individuals annually through academic and job-readiness programs.

The four-story structure connects to the adjacent Downtown Gateway complex and is built with environmentally durable materials, including fiber cement panels and glass. The project was designed to meet LEED Gold certification standards, supporting UB’s commitment to sustainable, community-focused development.
