16 Guion Place, New Rochelle, NY
GAMCO Corporation, a leading New York metro area fabricator of architectural metal and glass systems, is pleased to have played a key role in recent renovation work at New Rochelle Montefiore Hospital in Westchester County, NY.
GAMCO fenestration and façade products were used in two simultaneous major renovation projects in separate areas of the hospital campus. One involved the creation of a new Emergency Department entrance for the main hospital building. The other was the demolition of an existing building façade and installation of a new front glass curtain wall and building rear windows on the Goldstein Building wing of the hospital. The projects also included substantial interior renovation in addition to the façade work.
Located at 16 Guion Place in the city of New Rochelle, NY, the large hospital complex, which occupies several blocks, is situated just off Interstate 95 north of the New York City border. The hospital was one of the early New York metro area medical epicenters of the coronavirus pandemic and much of the renovation work continued during that period.
The largest part of the project was the creation of an entirely new façade for the Goldstein Building wing of the hospital which fronts Glover Johnson Place.
The façade on this sloped street transitions from two to four floors. A mixture of two curtain wall systems and fixed windows were supplied by GAMCO for this phase of the project.
Gamco supplied two different curtain wall systems, entrance doors, and windows for the Goldstein Building wing portion of the Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital renovation.
The façade’s two multi-story entrance areas used Gamco’s CW250 curtain wall framing with 2-1/2″ sightlines and 5-1/4″ back members, as well as Gamco’s D350 medium-stile commercial doors. This part of the hospital project also called for 22 of GAMCO’s fixed W250C aluminum frame windows, installed in two ribbon configurations of 11 each. All the GAMCO products accept 1” IGUs.
On the backside of the Goldstein Building, 42 additional large GAMCO W250C aluminum fixed windows with divided lites were installed in 77″ wide by 55″ tall punched openings. The GAMCO W250C windows feature a 2-1/8″ profile, 2-1/2″ depth, and AAMA test ratings of CW-PG30/F-C60. Part of the main building, GAMCO CW250 curtain wall system forms the hospital’s newly constructed modern Emergency Entrance on Guion Place. The GAMCO curtain wall framing consists of a tall single-story curved segmented glass entrance with glass vestibule and a flanking glass panel wall. (The two sets of automatic sliding doors were provided by others.) The CW250 curtain wall framing for the Emergency Entrance features 2-1/2″ sightlines, 5-1/4″ back members, and 1″ IGUs.
A total of 2,400-ft² of GAMCO’s CW250 Curtain Wall was supplied for the Emergency Entrance and Goldstein Building portions of the hospital project. All the GAMCO and YKK aluminum curtain walls, glass entrance doors, and commercial windows were fabricated in clear anodized finish.
The original building of what is now the Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital complex was constructed in 1892. The hospital has 242 inpatient beds, plus 150 at an adjacent senior extended care facility. The New Rochelle hospital complex is part of the Montefiore Health System and provides care to residents of southern Westchester County, northern New York City, and southwestern Connecticut.
