Spence School Construction
Building Up NYC’s Private Schools
The Spence School is building an athletic and educational facility at 412 East 90th Street, New York, NY, dubbed Spence 412. McLaren Engineering Group’s Construction Engineering team provided local and global erection sequencing for all steel trusses and the hollow-core floor planks. Additionally, they reviewed and addressed all field issues or questions from the client.
For this all-girls, K-12 private school in NYC, McLaren provided construction services for this project designed to be a living commitment to the athletics, arts, and ecology at Spence. The six-story addition expands their campus – their other locations include the Middle and Upper School on 91st Street and the Lower School on 93rd Street – and features a full-size gymnasium, nine squash courts, exhibition court, and outdoor education space. A student center, café, and Spence team rooms and athletic offices will share space on the third floor. And on the top floor, a multipurpose room for dance and performing arts will be adjacent to a center for ecology and interdisciplinary learning.
