At the heart of our work at Sciame is a commitment At the heart of our work at Sciame is a commitment to helping others and a belief that great design can transform lives. In 2012, Joseph Mizzi, President & COO of Sciame Construction, co-founded the 14+ Foundation to provide quality education to children in rural underserved communities in Zambia. Leading NYC architects, engineers and designers provided full design services for 14+ Foundation’s two school campuses that now serve over 600 students with no-cost education: Mwabwindo School and the Chipakata Children’s Academy. Student uniforms are designed and produced by Studio 189. Mwabwindo School, winner of the Panerai Design Miami / Visionary Award, opened in 2018 and marked our first partnership with Selldorf Architects - one that would later evolve into the transformative renovation and expansion of The Frick Collection in New York. Chipakata Children’s Academy, designed by Susan Rodriguez, Frank Lupo, Randy Antonio Lott and Fabian Bedolla opened in 2015. The project received multiple honors, including the AIA New York - Honor Award, the AIA NY State - Award of Merit, Architizer - Impact in Design Award, and SARA NY - Design Award of Excellence. Engineering services for both projects were overseen by Nat Oppenheimer at Silman (now TYLin), whose involvement was instrumental in bringing these campuses to life. Swipe to see these fully realized projects and the talented design team behind them.
Buy Low, Build Tall – At Sciame Construction and S Buy Low, Build Tall – At Sciame Construction and Sciame Development, we took on one of our most ambitious concepts with the visionary 80 South Street Tower, designed in partnership with world-renowned architect Santiago Calatrava. This striking 835-foot-tall residential tower was imagined for the East River waterfront, just steps from the World Trade Center. The design featured twelve modular “Townhouses in the Sky”, each a 45-foot cube cantilevered from the tower’s slender vertical axis, offering residents a one-of-a-kind living experience with breathtaking views and expansive terrace gardens. At Sciame, we have always embraced the challenge of pushing the boundaries of design and construction in New York City.

New York Construction’s Contractor of the Year – L New York Construction’s Contractor of the Year – Looking back, 2006 was a standout year for Sciame Construction. We were honored as Contractor of the Year, a testament to our growing reputation for delivering some of New York City’s most architecturally daring and culturally significant projects. In April 2006, Sciame Construction completed the Morgan Library and Museum Expansion, designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop and BBB Architects. The project was led by then EVP/Division Head Joseph Mizzi, who began his career at Sciame 11 years earlier in 1995. The following month, our founder, Frank Sciame, passed the torch of day-to-day leadership by promoting Joseph Mizzi to President of Sciame Construction, while continuing to serve as Chairman and CEO. This leadership transition helped shape the next chapter of our story, and was memorialized in the cover photo of New York Construction, and the firm’s Contractor of the Year honor.
Thanks a Half-Billion! – At Sciame Construction, w Thanks a Half-Billion! – At Sciame Construction, we proudly led the effort to reimagine the WTC Memorial and Museum, a project of national significance. Frank Sciame, our founder, was tasked with creating a design that honored the original vision while staying within a $500 million budget. Working closely with Mayor Bloomberg, Governor Pataki, and a team of 13 advisers, including notable figures like Jack Rudin and Robert Douglass, we developed cost-effective design options, ultimately reducing the budget from nearly $1 billion to $510 million. Our approach preserved key elements like the voids, waterfalls, and pools while optimizing infrastructure and resizing the museum. Sciame’s commitment to excellence ensured a memorial that balances beauty, dignity, and sustainability.
Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center – Though relati Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center – Though relatively small in size, the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center was a technically complex project successfully constructed and delivered by Sciame Construction. This groundbreaking laboratory made an outsized impact on global health. It was here that Dr. David Ho pioneered the development of the revolutionary “AIDS cocktail,” a combination therapy that transformed HIV from a fatal diagnosis into a manageable condition. His groundbreaking work earned him the title of TIME magazine’s Man of the Year, underscoring the center’s profound contribution to the fight against the AIDS epidemic.
The New Victory Theater – Originally built in 1900 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.
