Our work with Scholastic includes the full renovation of a landmarked building and the construction of an adjacent 10-story building next to it.

555 Broadway is a landmarked building in Manhattan’s SoHo district. Scholastic purchased the 12-story, 215,000 SF property in 2014; it had been a tenant in the space since 1992. When the company needed additional space, they commissioned a new 10-story building for the narrow lot next door to 555 Broadway. The new facility, is located at 557 Broadway, is now Scholastic’s headquarters and editorial offices. The two buildings are attached internally; Scholastic has office and retail space in both buildings.

We provided complete MEP design for the new building. Our design included an under-floor air distribution system for 557 Broadway, the first system of its kind in New York City.
