Grand Central Terminal New York, NY
|
This $12 million project for Metro-North Commuter Railroad was made up of two contracts. The first was the rehabilitation of the roof, skylight replacement and restoration of the orna-mental copperwork of landmark status. Second, the upper portion of the building, above the concourse, was planned for offices for Metro-North, includ-ing architectural and interiors work, and the restoration of elevator lobbies. The design involved the inser-tion of a new structural floor within the mansard roof. This floor helped meet the program requirement of 40,000 square feet for offices, class-rooms and new computer facility; it also reclaimed for use space previously sealed off and lit by immense clerestory windows. Strategi-cally placed lightwells in the new floor allow the floor below, which is also part of the program space, to share this daylight. Original passenger elevators were replaced by new automated cars designed by Lee Harris Pomeroy Associates to replicate the original cars. The project required research into the Terminal's original working drawings, and intricate survey and investigative work throughout the various complex levels of the Terminal.
