Columbia University - Faculty House

Sciame was the Construction Manager responsible for the renovation of the Faculty House. A 1923 McKim Mead White building on Columbia University’s East Campus, could no longer support the school’s needs so Sciame transformed the historic 38,000 SF building into a modern faculty dining room, graduate student meeting center, and event space for visiting lecturers, large banquets, and alumni organizations. The interiors were gutted and the building’s façade, clay tile roof, terrazzo floors, ornamental marble stairs, and plaster moldings were restored. New windows that match the details of the period units were installed, as were three elevators, four commercial kitchens, audio-visual equipment, a modern data network, new restrooms, lighting, and HVAC system.

We’re turning 50! As we count down to Sciame’s 50th anniversary on June 13th, we’re celebrating the moments that shaped us. For the next 50 days, we’ll be sharing one standout project a day in our “Countdown to 50”.

Thank you to our amazing clients, team, and friends! We wouldn’t be here without you.
