Studio Museum in Harlem

Sciame was the Construction Manager responsible for the new five-story, 82,000 SF museum that replaced the former home of the historic Studio Museum in Harlem. The new museum features expanded and enhanced gallery spaces, a dedicated art receiving area, a store and café, operations offices, and a climate-controlled gallery preparation suite.

The lobby was enlarged to create a welcoming civic space that engages directly with 125th Street. It was also designed to transform into a flexible outdoor area, encouraging public interaction and extending the event space. The museum includes a larger theater equipped with state-of-the-art lighting, sound, AV systems, and infrastructure.
