Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens Digs into Renovation and Expansion Project
Campus is providing Owner's Representative services to oversee “Growing Beyond the Glass,” a $31 million capital renovation and expansion project at the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens. The project will be delivered over the next 18-24 months and will remain open while the expansion takes place. The groundbreaking event, held on June 20, attracted news attention and was attended by key stakeholders and officials, including Governor Hochul.
The facility is owned by Erie County and operated by the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization supported in part by public funds from the County of Erie, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, members, donors, and friends.
