AECOM Tishman served as CM for a comprehensive renovation of the NYPL Midtown Campus, including the re-massing and building repositioning of the Mid-Manhattan Library (MML) at 5th Avenue and 40th Street and renovations to selected spaces within the Stephen A. Schwartzman Building.
The MML underwent a dramatic transformation into the LEED Silver 180,000 SF Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library, with a complete gut renovation and structural reconfiguration to change elevator, shaft and egress locations and create a light-filled atrium. The building was provided with new MEP infrastructure and saw a structural overbuild of three additional floors, with a rooftop terrace, a logistically complex and challenging operation given the building’s tight adjacency to two other properties.
