The Marcelle Athletic Complex at Siena College marks a momentous shift in the institution’s athletic and recreational offerings. Siena College partnered with CHA to forge an exceptional athletic complex that responds adeptly to the changing demands of competitive sports and the diverse college community.
Strategic enhancements, internal reconfigurations, and repurposed spaces substantially boost the facility’s efficiency.
