CUNY Brooklyn College – Whitman Hall
Brooklyn, NY
Ellana provided conceptual cost estimating analysis for the programming requirements at the Whitman Hall basement and Gershwin Theater, a link building known as the “Knuckle” building, at Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts at Brooklyn College. Urbahn Architects assessed the existing conditions and categorized the extent of required repairs into three levels of work. Most renovations include architectural repair due to water damage in both Whitman Hall basement and the Knuckle building. Minimal MEP repair work was needed but the building has to be brought up to New York Building code. New office spaces and bathroom upgrades are included in the repair work as well.
