The Shuster Hall project will provide mechanical upgrades for a 90,000+ SF existing building at the Lehman College campus. The scope of work is to upgrade the mechanical systems at the building, including new air handling units and the replacement of perimeter heating system pumps, with controls for the mechanical systems that will integrate into the campus-wide BMS system. Services provided are mechanical design, electrical power for the new equipment, architectural ceiling and finishing work, and hazardous material removal. The building is occupied, and the renovation work will require the construction to be phased and coordinated with the administrative functions of the Shuster Hall facility and the Lehman College staff. The project will also bring the Mechanical systems at the building up to the current NYC Building Code requirements while also adhering to the current NYC Energy Code standards.

Estimated construction cost range: $21M- $22M.
