Renovated interiors improve occupant interaction, operational efficiency, and adaptability, and the visitor experience is enhanced by increased natural light, landscaping, and wayfinding systems.
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.
