MECHOSHADE
LONG ISLAND CITY, NY
G3 led the comprehensive reconstruction and conversion of the 50,000 square foot 100-year old Mechoshade Systems facility in Long Island City, New York from manufacturing to office use.
This project entailed complex isolation and removal of decades-old equipment and materials, replacement of all mechanical systems, integration of new energy control features including automatic dimming systems and off-hours power storage, and waste and storm water management, as well as resource re-use and materials selections commensurate with a typical interiors program, all while maintaining the organization’s various operations fully functional.
