NEW YORK, NY—Aragon Construction, one of New York’s premiere general contracting and construction management firms, has just begun construction on Columbia University’s newly leased space at 880 Third Ave., Jack Resnick & Sons’18-story office tower at the northwest corner of 53rd St.
Columbia will utilize the new midtown space – the entire 7,300 s/f second floor – for its Medical Center’s Department of Ophthalmology, which will operate under the new name “Gloria & Lewis Flanzer Vision Care Center of Columbia University Medical Center.” Aragon is scheduled to complete construction in January and the Department expects to be fully operational at the new facility by next spring.
Aragon has teamed with AIA: Integrated Design Group to create 14 treatment rooms, an elevator lobby, waiting area, office rooms and technical rooms. With over 14 types of light fixtures, 8 different kinds of stone and several styles of glass tile being used throughout the space, lighting and finishes are tailor-made to suit the purpose of the room that they are in.
