The school is working with the City of Rome on the project. It bought the land for the project through the Rome Industrial Development Corporation following unanimous approval by the City Council last June, per Hamilton’s news release.
Fund raising and donations contributed over the past two years — primarily by alumni rowers — have made the project possible, Hamilton College said.
“The new facility will afford our coaches and student-athletes the amenities necessary to enhance our already successful rowing program,” Jon Hind, director of athletics at Hamilton College, said. “We have enjoyed our long partnership with the city of Rome, and we look forward to assisting with the development and programming of Bellamy Harbor Park.”
After an initial design competition, Holt Architects of Ithaca was selected as the building architect. Its design team included Erdman Anthony of Rochester (mechanical and electrical), Trowbridge, Wolf and Michaels of Ithaca (site and landscape), and Delta Engineers of Vernon (civil engineering).
Hamilton College awarded the construction contract to Beebe Construction Services of Utica.
