Liberty Island Retail Pavilion
Sciame was the Construction Manager responsible for the construction of the 6,700 SF retail pavilion. The pavilion houses the gift concession as well as public toilets for the 2 ½ million plus visitors who ferry to the Statue of Liberty each year. Built to Platinum LEED standards, the retail pavilion incorporates many energy saving and sustainability related features including a 1,500 foot deep geothermal well, LED lighting, waterless urinals, a generator which burns excess cooking oil from the food concession, rainwater storage/re-use.
The new Retail Pavilion is built of a steel frame, clad in Cor-Ten, of bolted columns and beams on a 33’ x 33’ grid, with an intermediate column grid every 16’-6” around the building perimeter. Columns rest on poured in place concrete footings, bolted together through steel plates. Exterior footings are four feet in depth; interior footings extend down two feet six inches. This methodology minimizes any impact to the historical fabric of this part of the island should the Pavilion building ever be removed.
Sciame Construction is honored to serve as the Construction Manager for two of Observer’s Most Anticipated Art Museum Openings and Expansions of 2025: The Frick Collection and The Studio Museum in Harlem both located in New York City. We’re looking forward to an exceptional year ahead!
We had a wonderful evening celebrating the season with our valued clients and partners at the annual Sciame Holiday Party. As we approach our 50th Anniversary next year, we’re enormously grateful for your continued trust and collaboration.
Best wishes to you and your family for a very festive and joyful Holiday Season and a very happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!
If you see a crowd staring at the sky, don’t panic, they’re just admiring Fifth Avenue’s ultimate accessory, Stacked Trunks, brought to you by Louis Vuitton.
We at Sciame Construction are thrilled to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our amazing staff who not only cheered on but also fearlessly accepted and triumphantly completed the 3.5-mile J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge. Thank you once again for your participation and support. #jpmcc
