Owner: Studio Museum in Harlem

Location:  New York, NY

Architect:  Perkins Eastman

Cost Estimating:  Stuart Lynn

Joe’s Role:  As Senior Project Manager for Zubatkin Owner Representation, Joe was responsible for overall coordination between Owner, Architect and Cost Estimator. 

Special Challenges:  The Studio Museum in Harlem is a first class institution representing African American artist while also providing studio space for an artists-in-residence program.   The Museum identified several challenges for the building including: expanding gallery space; higher ceiling space to display larger works; more efficient vertical transportation and delivery access; improved visibility from West 125th Street; improved HVAC climate control; and more efficient and effective use of space.  Working with Perkins Eastman’s and Stuart Lynn’s teams, several options were explored and costed.  One concept was selected and a master Plan document provided for presentation to the Board of Directors for actioning.
