This project involves the comprehensive renovation and transformation of a 3,400 sq. ft. space on the third floor of the CUNY School of Law, formerly utilized as a commercial kitchen. The renovated area will be reconfigured to support a range of flexible academic and community functions, including new classrooms, clinical or experiential teaching spaces, a community gathering area for events, and associated support spaces. All existing kitchen fixtures, equipment, and finishes will be removed to allow for the full reconfiguration of the space. A small kitchenette will be incorporated to support ongoing use of the adjacent Community Room. The scope of work includes complete interior demolition and reconfiguration, along with upgrades to lighting, HVAC, telecommunications, and internet infrastructure to meet modern educational and operational standards. A key component of the project is the replacement and modernization of the building’s outdated audiovisual (AV) systems. This includes the installation of new AV infrastructure in the Community Room as well as in classrooms and event spaces throughout the Law School. The existing AV equipment—much of which consists of retrofitted, repurposed systems—will be replaced with fully integrated, state-of-the-art technology to support contemporary academic instruction, hybrid learning, and institutional events.
