Located on the far west side of Manhattan, the Javits Center is New York City's primary venue for trade shows and conventions. A new subway extension provides mass transit access connecting the facility to hotels and other venues. The revitalization plan included: reworking the entry plaza to create pedestrian friendly landscaped urban space, improved truck marshaling and storage, updating the building enclosure with a new high-performance curtain wall and skylights, a highly insulating 6.75-acre green roof, and new mechanical and electrical systems that reduce energy consumption by 26%.
The second phase proposes a design-build expansion to the north of the existing convention center. We completed a concept design and bridging documentation for the project.
