Hastings Hall Renovation Project

Demolition work continues. Window abatement has wrapped. The contractors anticipate the red asbestos disposal container on 122nd St. to be removed by the middle of next week, possibly as early as today.

While the primary abatement work is complete, during the course of demolition the construction team discovered an unforeseen condition in an isolated shaft on the interior of the building that will have to be abated. The condition will be addressed in a separate permit and mobilization requiring a much smaller crew to address. That work is expected to begin the next couple of weeks and completed by the end of September.  The material from this work will be contained according to regulations and hauled away from the building daily via packer trucks designed for this work. All state and city regulations and safety procedures set by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Department of Buildings (DOB), including air monitoring, will be followed.

Regular work hours are Monday-Friday from 7:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

Consigli has received approval from the Department of Buildings for Saturday work, which will include continued demolition and hauling away of debris. Two trucks will be used and will be loaded on 122 St. Work will happen this Saturday, August 3, with work hours from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Additional Saturday work is anticipated.

If you have any questions, please contact Ben Perry, Deputy Director of Communications, bperry@uts.columbia.edu.

Consigli Construction has fully mobilized at Hastings Hall (at corner of 122^nd St and Broadway) and has begun renovations. This week, crews have been loading in construction materials to prepare for the initial phase of the renovation. Due to this mobilization, the Knox Hall Cloister has been closed.  No access is permitted from Knox Hall into the Cloister and the Knox Cloister doors to the Quad are also closed.

Crews have also begun building a new sidewalk bridge along Broadway. The bridge will extend along the perimeter of Hastings on Broadway and 122^nd.

On Monday, June 10 asbestos abatement will begin. All applicable permits have been obtained and the strict state and city regulations and safety procedures set by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Department of Buildings (DOB) are being followed.  Abatement is expected to continue until mid-summer.

In addition, starting Monday, parking lanes on 122nd St. between Broadway and Claremont Avenues will be closed as the crew establishes the construction perimeter. The construction perimeter should be fully complete by late June. Two-way traffic will continue on 122^nd.

All Union faculty, staff, and students will receive these messages. If other individuals (partners, spouses, family members, friends) would like to receive these messages, please ask them to fill out this form.

We understand that these projects will impact campus and student life; thank you for helping us to keep the broader Union community informed.

Union Theological Seminary (Union) has contracted with Consigli Construction to oversee the Hastings Hall renovation. For this project, in line with the seminary’s social justice mission, Union has established, with Consigli, workforce and subcontractor goals to recruit, and provide opportunities for minority workers and Minority-owned, Women-owned and Locally-based Business Enterprises (MWLBE).

Union’s workforce goal, which is based on total project hours not the number of employees, is 30 percent minority worker and 5 percent female worker. The goal for subcontractors/suppliers/vendors is 15 percent MWBE and 5 percent LBE of the total amount of awarded contracts. For this particular project, the local based businesses are expected to come from within the immediate area, specifically the three zip codes within Morningside Heights. By establishing these best faith effort goals, Union affirms its commitment to ensuring underrepresented business owners and workers will be able to participate in and benefit from the campus renewal project.

Another goal of the project is to develop a construction skills training program for five local area residents. The program gives the selected individuals an opportunity to work alongside seasoned trade workers for the Hastings project, and for future construction projects with Consigli. Preference will be given to residents within the Morningside Heights zip codes 10024, 10025 and 10027.

Consigli has hired an area resident, Nzingha Crusoe, as Diversity/Community Outreach Coordinator to assist in making best faith efforts to meet these goals. Crusoe is a local community leader and organizer, with project management experience.

In addition, Union is partnering with Consigli to host a job fair where local laborers will have the opportunity to apply for positions with the project’s subcontractors as well as the construction skills training program. The job fair will be held on Friday, June 14 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Abyssinian Baptist Church, 132 Odell Clark Place (formerly W 138^th Street)  in Harlem.
