The Dalton School

The Dalton School

Founded in 1919, The Dalton School has a long history of excellence in K-12 education. As part of its long term planning efforts to improve its facilities, Dalton purchased a brownstone adjacent to the three townhouses that comprise its First Program (grades K-3). The school sought to connect the new and existing facilities, as well as renovate the facilities for educational use and improved program functionality. The project included a state-of-the-art rooftop science space, new classrooms, art rooms, lobby and elevator, as well as infrastructure, mechanical, and life safety upgrades.

9/11 Memorial & Museum

9/11 Memorial & Museum

Situated within the archaeological site of the original World Trade Center towers, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum documents and presents the story of loss and recovery of September 11, 2001 and the 1993 bombing through a series of interactive multimedia displays, archives, narratives and collection of monumental and authentic artifacts.

Delivered as a public-private partnership, this museum is comprised of a significant exhibit program that displays over 1,000 artifacts. The project also features a theater, media and interactive components, and reflective space for victims’ families. The memorial exhibition is located in the footprint of the South Tower and commemorates the victims of the attacks. The historical exhibition is in the footprint of the North Tower that examines the day of the attacks, what preceded them and how the events of 9/11 continue to shape the world. The remaining artifacts, such as the Last Column and Survivor’s Stairs, are displayed in the interstitial spaces.

St. Patrick’s Cathedral

St. Patrick’s Cathedral

St. Patrick’s Cathedral is one of New York City’s most well-known and iconic landmarks, considered by many as the center of Catholic life in the United States. Built over 130 years ago, the Cathedral receives over five million visitors a year from all over the world and serves as the seat of the Archbishop of New York. In 2007, the Trustees of St. Patrick’s Cathedral embarked on the planning for a comprehensive renovation project to restore the exterior and interior of the cathedral, including the masonry, stained glass windows, plaster ceilings, pews, roof, and 9,200-pound bronze entrance doors. Interior upgrades include HVAC and life safety, including a customized fire suppression system. The project also includes a new, large-scale geothermal mechanical plant, reflective of the Archdiocese of New York’s commitment to promoting environmental sustainability.

Hudson Square

Hudson Square

The Hudson Square Connection (HSC), a business improvement district nestled between Greenwich Village, SoHo, and Tribeca, aims to transform a historically manufacturing neighborhood into a bustling creative hub through an ambitious streetscape and public improvement project. Funded by a public-private partnership, the $27 million, five-year initiative seeks to beautify the streets and enhance the pedestrian experience to connect a growing community of vibrant businesses, residents, and visitors. The project places an important focus on promoting sustainable transportation through the adoption of new bike lanes and landscape strategies to better manage stormwater run-off, reduce waste, and save energy.

American Museum of Natural History

The permanent halls at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) are iconic spaces that represent the core of the Museum’s exhibit program.  In coordination with AMNH’s curatorial staff and senior leadership, Zubatkin assisted in developing a consistent process for the development of the permanent hall projects that allows for enhancement and utilization of the Museum’s infrastructure, as well as flexibility in content delivery for the long term.

Specific projects have included:

  • Milstein Hall of Ocean Life: Home to one of the Museum’s most celebrated displays, the Hall of Ocean Life highlights the complexity of the undersea world and the marine environment. The renovation of this dynamic hall involved new large-scale media and upgrades to the exhibits, iconic blue whale, ceiling lighting, fire protection systems and other infrastructure.
  • Anne and Bernard Spitzer Hall of Human Origins: This dynamic exhibit pairs fossils with DNA research to present the remarkable history of human evolution, covering millions of years of human history. The project introduced all new exhibits, technology, and a new teaching classroom.
  • Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Hall: Charting Theodore Roosevelt’s journey from a budding naturalist to an elected leader with a deep commitment to conservation, the renovated hall includes a new bronze sculpture of Theodore Roosevelt and four key exhibition areas. The project also includes new audio-visual elements, as well as restoring the overall exterior and interior spaces.
  • Theodore Roosevelt Rotunda: A New York City interior landmark, the Theodore Roosevelt Rotunda welcomes many visitors to the Museum and features an impressive dinosaur exhibit. The project involved the restoration of the historic murals, as well as improvements to the visitor circulation and lighting.
  • Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Hall of the Universe: Located on the lower level of the Rose Center for Earth and Space, this hall presents the discoveries of modern astrophysics.  Zubatkin’s involvement focused on the completion of the construction, exhibit installation and close-out of the project.
