New York Engineers provided Mechanical engineering design and consultation services for the Riverdale campus in the Bronx. New York Engineers designed new backflow preventers for several buildings in the Upper and Lower schools. The main campus boiler room was also redesigned, and new boilers were designed for Building 400 and the gymnasium.
