Sciame was the Construction Manager responsible for constructing 18,000 SF of corporate interior space, spread across 2 floors of a newly constructed, mixed-use building in the Meatpacking District. To maximize the amount of natural light from the floor to-ceiling curtain wall, new full height glass office fronts with clerestory glass and floating ceiling plains with custom lighting were installed. A raised flooring system was utilized to conceal the HVAC system, structural supports and MEP infrastructure. The project also included custom conference rooms with AV integration, custom millwork panels throughout each floor, acoustical treatments, and high-end finishes.
The New Victory Theater – Originally built in 1900 as The Republic, the first performing arts venue on 42nd Street, the theater was transformed into The New Victory in 1995, becoming New York’s first theater for children and families. The renovation uncovered and restored original architectural elements, added a new lobby carved from the existing structure and bedrock, rebuilt the historic staircase, and created space for much-needed restrooms. A rear wing was added for backstage access, dressing rooms, workshops, and a loading dock, while new elevators and rooftop HVAC systems were integrated to meet modern needs of the historic theater.
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.
Sciame is honored to have served as the construction manager for the expansion and refurbishment of The Frick Collection, working alongside Selldorf Architects and Beyer Blinder Belle to bring this vision to life. As the museum prepares to reopen next month, we’re pleased to see this project receive high praise in The New York Times from esteemed architecture critic Michael Kimmelman.
