The cultural and symbolic heart of Hunter College’s Manhattan campus, Thomas Hunter Hall has undergone numerous piecemeal renovations and updates over the past decades. This masterplan of the historic 1913 building included a summary of existing conditions, a feasibility report and a high level review of proposed phased renovations intended to allow continued use of the building for decades to come. The modernization of Thomas Hunter Hall will include new building systems, life-safety improvements, energy code compliance and new programming integrated with the building’s existing historic character. To accommodate logistical and funding challenges, renovations will be broken into five phases of construction over a 12 year period.
As project manager I coordinated the production of and revisions to the 110-page masterplan, including reviews with DASNY, CUNY and Hunter College.
