Harvard Club of New York City

Sciame was the Construction Manager responsible for the construction and renovation of the Harvard Club of New York City. It consisted of a new 9-story addition as well as alterations to the original 1980’s clubhouse designed by McKim, Mead & White.

The new, mixed-use, custom concrete structure was constructed on a narrow site (50’ street frontage) adjacent to the existing club on West 44th Street, where two smaller buildings were demolished.

The building features a custom curtainwall, which integrates a limestone facade and floors of varying heights, to accommodate a range of functions. The new facilities include a main lobby and reception area, major kitchen facilities, a spacious banquet room for private events, a media room for conferences and presentations, two floors of guest rooms, an administrative office floor, and athletic facilities, including two international squash courts.

The project was completed via a challenging phased construction schedule to permit the Club to carry on its ongoing operations without disruption.
