Renovating the Heart of the Lucile Palmaro Clubhouse

The Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club Lucile Palmaro Clubhouse relocated to the Bronx in 1969. It is the largest of the Club’s 10 sites and provides a range of youth enrichment services including art, athletic, and academic programs. To enhance the Club for decades to come, ESKW/A is working closely with the program directors to redesign the heart of the facility, the Games Room. The original, single-glazed skylights, concealed in the 1970s to conserve energy, will be removed and replaced with a large, single-slope, insulated panel skylight. The room will be re-shaped and centered around the original brick fireplace, and the perimeter will have deep, colorful nooks for seating booths. Construction is set to start this summer so check back for updates.
