Working with Southampton Arts and SUNY Stony Brook, Marble Fairbanks is developing plans for introducing a new Center for Creativity on SUNY’s Southampton Campus. Located within historic Southampton Hall, the Center will support arts programming and initiate future collaborations within and beyond the campus.
Marble Fairbanks has completed the design phase for an expansion to NYU’s Institute of Fine Arts. The IFA is located in the historic Duke House and will expand into two floors of an adjacent townhouse. The new space will provide teaching spaces, faculty offices and a new reading room.
Following the completion of a space utilization and workplace analysis for the National Parks Service at the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston, Marble Fairbanks will now begin design for the historic Hoosac Warehouse which will house the U.S.S. Constitution Museum, a visitor center and NPS offices. The Hoosac Warehouse is on the waterfront adjacent to Freedom Trail and will serve as a entry point to the Navy Yard.

Marble Fairbanks recently completed a space utilization and workplace recommendation report for the National Parks Service at the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston. The report included a strategic workplace master plan that looked at the relocation, consolidation and reconfiguration of workplace and associated support spaces for over 225 NPS employees across 12 buildings at the Navy Yard. The study and report was done in collaboration with PLASTARC.
