Recent Projects
Digitas
345 Park Avenue South
New York, New York
James E. Fitzgerald partnered with Digitas to develop
the advertising agency’s first multi-media conference
center. The project included the creation of a large,
open, multi-use lounge area used for presentations
and conferencing, featuring a dynamic backlit LED
lighting element contained in a custom metal mesh
column, Stone flooring, a floating fabric ceiling system
fabricated in France, back painted glass panels
with integrated recessed LED screens, Modernfold
movable glass and fabric partitions, and a custom
millwork bar and café area.
The conference rooms were
designed to be flexible and able
to be reconfigured in order to
accommodate larger sized groups.
The state-of-the-art audiovisual
and lighting solutions incorporate a
multi-scene dimming with automated
shades integrated into the master
control system of the facility.
Garan
200 Madison Avenue
New York, New York
James E. Fitzgerald, Inc. constructed the new NYC
headquarters for Garan. The space has a large, open
floor plate with an exposed slab design which required
James E. Fitzgerald to extensively coordinate the
various trades to achieve a highly organized layout for
the various components such as ductwork, electrical
conduits, cabling and lighting. The floors are a
combination of polished concrete, stone and carpet; the
reception and elevator lobby include custom millwork
ceiling and wall features along with a custom illuminated
reception desk; the office space consists of conference
rooms/work rooms and a large café shared by clients
and the staff.
Confidential Client
1345 Avenue of the Americas
Top 2 Floors, New York, New York
James E. Fitzgerald, Inc. was selected by Gardiner
& Theobald and the project team to act as the
Construction Manager for the top two floors of 1345
Avenue of the Americas. The design includes materials
and finishes that are as transparent as possible to
accentuate the spectacular unobstructed views of
central park. The project consists of a large conference
center, open plan reception/lounge area with a central
staircase, and open plan trading desks on raised floor.
The ceiling is organized in a modular system of metal
pans to hold the light fixtures, air conditioning diffusers
and sprinkler heads thus providing a “service zone”
separated by unaltered, continuous oversized metal
ceiling tiles.
A main computer room and
several smaller cabling hubs were
incorporated throughout the project
providing the connectivity and
network capacity for the trading
operations. The finishes are ultra
high end consisting of specialty
glass, polished metal, stone and
lacquered millwork.
Disney New
Amsterdam Theatre
Replacement of Rooftop Mammoth Units
at 214 West 42nd Street, New York, New York
James E. Fitzgerald Inc. has been selected to replace
(3) rooftop Mammoth units on the historic New
Amsterdam Theater at 214 West 42nd Street for ABC
Disney. Because the scope of work is to be completed
while the Theater is between shows, detailed critical
path scheduling of all work and advance coordination
of the various trades, supplied by both the owner and
by James E. Fitzgerald, Inc., is of the utmost importance.
The equipment was pre-purchased and scheduled for
delivery in a way so that all supplemental work, such
as the replacement of the roof, piping, ductwork and
associated electrical controls and infrastructure, can be
phased ahead of the equipment replacement in order to
efficiently utilize the manufacturing time of the units.
The installation and removal of the
old equipment was scheduled to
occur concurrently to minimize
the required Department of
Transportation street closure
permits and to use the crane in an
efficient and cost-effective manner.
