Sciame was the Construction Manager responsible for the construction and renovation of Gruzen Samton’s innovative design for this 750- student middle school and high school facility. Which involved the construction of a six-story building shell. The latter was built in 1924 and was the original address of the legendary Harlem jazz club, Small’s Paradise, as well as home to The Interstate Tattler newspaper (1925-1932). Consequently, the structure’s significance for the Harlem community is immeasurable. The project team worked closely with the New York City Board of Education and with residents of Harlem, addressing the concerns and adhering to the design guidelines and requirements of both groups.

What a night! A huge thank you to everyone who came out on Wednesday to represent Team Sciame at the 2025 J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge in Central Park!

Despite the weather, the Sciame team showed up strong, lacing up and powering through the 3½-mile course!

We’re proud of the determination, camaraderie, and good humor everyone brought to a soggy evening in the park.
