Pace University - 1 Pace Plaza & 41 Park Row

Sciame was the Construction Manager responsible for the renovation of a 55,000 SF space spread across two buildings at Pace University’s Manhattan campus. At 1 Pace Plaza, upgrades included a new storefront and canopy at the main undergraduate entrance, along with the installation of a two-story curtain wall at the business school entrance, which modernized the aesthetic and increased natural light.

The project also involved extensive work at 41 Park Row, a building protected by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. Here, Sciame oversaw the installation of new two-story storefront systems across all three facades, carefully coordinated to preserve the structure’s historical integrity.

Key design and functional enhancements throughout both buildings included a fully reimagined entry and welcome center, designed to provide an inviting first impression for students and visitors. Two custom feature staircases were constructed to improve circulation and connectivity, complemented by a student commons area intended to foster collaboration and engagement. Specialty ceilings were installed to add visual interest, while terrazzo flooring throughout created a unified, high-quality finish.

Additionally, the project involved major MEP system upgrades and complex structural reinforcements to support the new layout and ensure code compliance. Despite the scope of the renovations, the upper floors of both buildings remained fully operational throughout the project, minimizing disruptions to campus activities.
