to include two ice rinks (one exposed recreational rink
and a covered hockey rink), dining facilities, event spaces,
locker rooms, a gift shop, offices, and extensive landscaping
including a paved green roof. Targeted for LEED
Silver Certification to be completed in Winter 2012, it will
house one of the few green roof canopies to exist over an
ice skating rink.
INTERIORS
In addition to building sustainable projects in the higher
education and cultural areas, Sciame has also put its skills
to work in commercial interiors. Perhaps the finest example
of this is its completion of the new Perkins Eastmandesigned
General Electric Corporate Headquarters for
Energy Finance in Stamford, CT. Comprised of 275,000
square-feet, the fit-out consisted of lobby spaces, multipurpose
rooms, open landscape furniture areas, private
offices, a conference center, pantries, a cafeteria, retail
store, auditorium and a fitness center. Completed in 2008
in only four and a half months, it met the client’s original
requested move-in schedule, while concurrently earning
Commercial Interior Gold LEED Certification.
It is clear that Sciame Construction’s dedication to creating,
and even transforming, buildings by enabling them
to earn LEED Certification knows no bounds, particularly
as the construction process undergoes changes demanding
more innovative forms of sustainability. “Constructing
sustainable projects is something Sciame as a firm is highly
committed to,” says the firm’s president, Joseph Mizzi. “It
will benefit both people and the environment for many
years to come.”
