The New York University Tisch School of the Arts is a center of study in the performing and media arts. Founded in 1965, the Tisch is a training ground for artists, scholars of the arts, and filmmakers.

Tisch School of the Arts was founded in order to provide conservatory training in theatre and film, in the context of a research university. The school created additional departments such as dance, theatre design, and cinema studies within a few years. Following the creation of the undergraduate Department of Drama in 1974, the school expanded into other artistic forms.

We provided MEP services to upgrade the existing mechanical and electrical infrastructure at 111 Second Avenue to support future use and expansion. We then recommended design upgrades. Our scope of work addressed the mechanical/electrical requirements to establish a robust, low maintenance, energy efficient MEP infrastructure, while incorporating a new sprinkler system to improve life safety.
