Stafford Associates, Dr. Eugene F. Stafford Building, is a Data Center and Office Building located on Long Island at 21 Bennetts Road in Setauket, New York. The facility incorporates many green features and anticipates a LEED Silver certification, LEED elements incorporated into the building include:
Preferred parking for hybrid vehicles & those carpooling – encourages use of these means of transportation which lowers greenhouse gas emissions
Rainwater collection for site irrigation – lowers the buildings demand for potable water
20% + of site left as open space – help maintain habitat for natural ecosystem
Cut off light fixtures – maintains dark sky
Waterless urinals, dual flush toilets & low flow fixtures – lowers buildings demand for potable water
Implementation of Construction Waste Management Plan – encourages the reuse & recycling of Construction waste & keeps useable material from the landfill
Use of SIPs (Structurally Insulated Panels) – tighter more efficient building envelope, lowers energy demand and associated pollution
Tighter building envelope and innovative building systems – approximate 30% less energy use and carbon footprint than typical building construction
Recycled content in building materials – reduces need for virgin materials and associated environmental costs
Local/regional content in building materials – supports local economy while reducing impact of transporting materials to the site
Low VOC materials – healthier indoor air for building occupants
CO2 monitoring – healthier indoor air for building occupants
The building itself is 30,000 sq. ft. and has many house like qualities to give clients, tenants and employees the sense that they are working with a family owned business. The building is adorned with rich earth tones throughout which can be found in the black marble steps with orange veins to the mahogany in the Stafford lobby, the deep brown accented carpets and natural wall coverings. Craftsmanship and high technology are infused throughout the building from the hand crafted railings in the center atriums to the Tier 3 Data Center that boasts concurrently maintainable site infrastructure guaranteeing 99.982% availability.
This building is located at Downey Ave and Firestone Blvd. Records show it was built in 1946, and during a recent remodel, you could actually see what looked to be the original architectural details. Streamline Modern or Art Deco form what I could tell. It's all hidden behind the boring plaster box.

The Civic Hall design was the result of a competition held in 1926, which was won by E. Vincent Harris. Work began in 1931 and the hall was opened by King George V and Queen Mary on 23 August 1933. It was built to provide space for clerical council workers and other Civic functions, and it contains offices such as the Lord Mayor's room, council chambers and a banqueting hall.
Costing £360,000 to construct, it is notable that due to the Great Depression, 90% of the people employed in its construction would otherwise have been unemployed, therefore the building's construction was used as job creation, an example of Keynesian economics. The building is Grade II* listed building and is faced in Portland Stone. The front of the building is a Roman Corinthian portico of 6 columns.
The twin towers are 170 feet high and topped by 9 foot tall bronze owls by John Hodge, with each weighing 9 tons.
Leodis carries many images of the Leeds Civic Hall, including some excellent aerial shots.
The replacement police station (not seen, but to the west/left) will be LEED certified. But will the parking garage? Notice the black metal trellis on the west and south faces.
This parking garage has four levels, where the parking garage at the police station by my house has two levels. I hope that it includes the visitor parking where the police station by my house has a surface lot for visitors.
