Hill International to Manage Renovation of New York City Hall
Reported by Larry Suda in New York City
Hill International, a US-based global construction project management company, has been awarded a contract by the New York City Department of Design and Construction to provide construction management services during the $80 million renovation of New York City Hall. The three-year contract has a value to Hill of approximately $5.3 million.
The oldest city hall in the nation that still houses its original governmental functions, New York City Hall is considered one of the finest architectural achievements of its period. Constructed from 1803 to 1812, New York City Hall is a designated New York City landmark and its rotunda is a designated interior landmark as well.
The building will undergo renovations throughout the structure including exterior and roofing renovations; steps refinishing; new electrical, fire, AV and HVAC systems; elevator modernization; and complete renovation of all interior spaces.
"We are honored and privileged to be managing the restoration of New York City Hall," said D. Clarke Pile, P.E., Hill's Senior Vice President and New York Regional Manager. "When completed, the renovation project will restore one of New York City's most important architectural gems," Pile added.
Hill International has 2,000 employees in 70 offices worldwide providing program management, project management, construction management and construction claims services. Engineering News-Record magazine recently ranked Hill as the 10th largest construction management firm in the United States.
