Sources and Fabricates Impact Resistant Aluminum Fenestration Components
GAMCO Corporation, one of the New York area’s leading fenestration and architectural metal fabricators, provided YKK AP curtain wall, storefront, and entrance doors, key components for a new hospital expansion in Staten Island, NY. GAMCO sourced and fabricated over 12,000 sq. ft. of aluminum fenestration materials for the recently opened 35,000 sq. ft. expansion to Richmond University Medical Center (RUMC), located at 355 Bard Avenue in the New York City Borough of Staten Island. The multi-level expansion, which houses the hospital’s Emergency Department, presents dramatic glass curtain wall and metal panels on its south and east façades. The fenestration materials supplied by GAMCO balanced the hospital’s needs for aesthetics, natural light, thermal performance, strength, durability, sustainability, and resiliency.
This is the second NY area hospital project that GAMCO has supplied in recent years. In 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, GAMCO curtain wall and commercial windows were used in the Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital’s construction of a new Emergency Department entrance and renovations to a major hospital wing.
