The City University Construction Fund has registered a $20 million contract with JRM Construction Management LLC to renovate Roosevelt Hall at Brooklyn College and overhaul its HVAC systems, according to NYC Comptroller's Checkbook NYC. The contract runs April 15, 2026 through April 15, 2031 — a five-year window that tells you this isn't a quick swing-through; it's a full building turned inside out one system at a time.
The award came through competitive sealed bidding, and Checkbook NYC lists no M/WBE designation attached to the deal. The PIN is 043ROOSEVELTHALLRENO, contract ID CT104320271404636 — the kind of record that's easy to miss on a public college campus that doesn't get the headline attention of a new dorm or science building, but $20 million is $20 million, and it's real work for a GC with the bonding to carry it.
JRM is a name that shows up across New York's institutional and higher-ed market, and this contract slots into that same lane — CUNY has been steadily working through its aging campus stock, and Roosevelt Hall's HVAC upgrade is the kind of infrastructure-behind-the-walls job that doesn't photograph well but keeps a campus running. For subs chasing mechanical, electrical, or interior fit-out scope, a five-year GC contract at a CUNY campus means a long runway of subcontract packages likely to follow — worth a call to JRM's project team once site logistics get sorted.
The bigger read: this is one of seven new construction contract registrations Checkbook NYC logged this cycle, and at $20 million it's nearly two-thirds of the $32 million total across all five agencies combined. When one contract dwarfs the rest of the week's activity like this, it's worth asking who's chasing the subcontract packages behind it — and whether CUNY's capital plan has more Roosevelt Halls waiting in the wings.
