Property Condition Assessment for Marymount Manhattan College

Client: MMC Location: 221 East 71st Street, New York, NY Project Type: Property Condition Assessment

AMA Architects PC was engaged by Marymount Manhattan College (MMC) to provide a Property Condition Assessment (PCA) for Carson Hall (221 East 71st Street) and Nugent Hall (220 East 72nd Street), both part of the main campus in New York, NY. This assessment aimed to evaluate the condition of the buildings' systems and components to support the college’s capital planning and maintenance strategies.

 

Scope of Work:

• Building Systems: Evaluation of HVAC systems, plumbing, data and telephone infrastructure, boilers, fire suppression systems, and elevators. The inspection aimed to identify deficiencies and potential maintenance needs to extend the lifespan of critical building systems.
• Building Evaluation: Assessment of the foundation, structural elements, roof diaphragm, interior finishes, and overall building envelope. This evaluation focused on identifying necessary repairs and upgrades to maintain structural integrity and energy efficiency.
• Building Site Improvements: Inspection of drainage systems, signage, pavement conditions, accessibility compliance, and lighting infrastructure. Recommendations were provided to address deficiencies and enhance safety and functionality around the campus.
• Property Condition Report (PCR): The findings were presented in a detailed PCR, including an assessment of existing conditions and estimates of the remaining useful life for major systems and components. While a replacement cost schedule was excluded from the scope, it could be provided upon request for an additional fee.

 

Project Relevance:

This PCA demonstrates AMA Architects PC’s expertise in conducting thorough assessments of educational facilities, focusing on evaluating the integrity of building systems and infrastructure. The project’s focus on maintaining operational efficiency while addressing long-term sustainability needs is directly aligned with the requirements of government and institutional contracts, including those in secure environments.
