In bringing the Moynihan Train Hall to life, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's design team and the project's owner, Empire State Development (the umbrella organization for New York's two principal economic development public-benefit corporations, the New York State Urban Development Corp. and the New York Job Development Authority), have at last realized the vision of the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, D-N.Y, to transform the Penn Station complex into a gateway worthy of New York City. The creation of the train hall did so by constructing a spacious facility of 255,000 sq ft, including a grand, skylit main concourse; improving accessibility through dozens of new escalators, stairways, and elevators; and adding crucial amenities, from new waiting and ticketing areas to elegant restrooms. |
