Fulton Center

Per Grimshaw:

 

"Situated in the heart of Lower Manhattan, the Fulton Center is a dynamic transport environment streamlining connections between eleven subway lines for up to 300,000 daily passengers.

 

Organized around a large-scale atrium contained within an elegant, transparent facade, the center draws inspiration from the neighborhood's cast iron buildings and incorporates the restored 1888 Corbin Building.

The atrium ascends to 110 feet, topped by a conical dome centered on the concourse below. A canted glass oculus intersects the dome, flooding the atrium with natural light whose effect is magnified by an integrated artwork, Sky Reflector-Net.

 

The Fulton Center fulfills a significant civic role, offering a memorable urban experience that nods to history while supporting the region's growth."
