Stained glass over main entrance to the Music Building at Lehman College commemorating the building's use for training of US Navy WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) in World War II.

A great deal of work was required to adapt the Hunter campus to Navy requirements, but the details of who did the work and who paid for it are not to be found, but it entailed at least "the expansion of classrooms, the general conversion of college class, administration and cafeteria buildings to meet the requirements of a Naval training school"[1]. Furthermore a number of neighboring apartment buildings were converted to dormitories and this too required labor and materials (e.g. lots of bunk beds). It's hard to imagine that this conversion did not include New Deal funding or labor. Certainly the money was Federal so it's just a question of which agency. For example the Navy Department might have paid for materials but used WPA workers. I prefer to err on the side of inclusion and call this conversion a New Deal project, probably with WPA labor.
