The Spence School

Sciame is the Construction Manager responsible for the renovation and upgrades of The Spence School, an esteemed all-girls K-12 institution located in Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

The renovation will focus on the Middle and Lower School building by optimizing the functionality of the first-floor office space to accommodate various departments, including development, communication, counseling, nursing, and security. The objective is to maximize space and centralize all maintenance support staff for enhanced efficiency. Critical upgrades such as cellar air conditioning, stormwater containment, and waterproofing measures are integral components of the renovation. Furthermore, modifications to the main kitchen and storage facilities, particularly in the bleachers and the townhouse restroom are being made to accommodate the school’s storage needs. Additional potential enhancements include replacing cabinets in the Lower School’s art room, enhancing security measures in the athletic center, and implementing waterproofing solutions for the athletic facilities.

All construction activities are carefully planned and executed within an occupied building, as The Spence School remains fully operational, including the continuation of their summer programs.
