The rehabilitation of the World's most famous subway station is currently underway. The rehabilitation design will improve circulation and security; enhance the overall visual quality of the station; upgrade subway connections between the IRT and BMT lines; improve visibility and access to the Times Square Shuttle; and improve overall use and access. This $100 million effort will also modify and improve the mezzanine and platform levels in the station, rebuild and improve access of the street entrances, and will involve the addition of five new elevators to provide transfer opportunities within the station in accordance with ADA regulations and guidelines.
 
   
The Herald Square Subway Complex is one of the three largest station complexes in the New York City Transit system. This $60 Million modernization project to the Sixth Avenue IND, the Broadway BMT, and the PATH 34th Street Station included improvements to the platforms, mezzanines, passageways, and street level entrances. A major design objective of the project was to improve the visual quality of the platforms, mezzanines, passageways, and entrances. This was achieved with the rehabilitation of the station finishes, the creation of visual connections between levels, and the introduction of new lighting and station signage. Floors were expanded to improve passenger orientation, and station environment.
 
 
   
 
The Brighton Line BMT stations rehabilitated by this project for New York City Transit were the Prospect Park, Parkside Avenue, Beverly Road, Cortelyou Road, Brighton Beach, and Ocean Parkway stations. The rehabilitation of these stations encompassed comprehensive improvements for each station. These include improvements to passenger movement, visual enhancements, finishes, lighting, signage, increased power, structural repair, mechanical systems, and station compliance with A.D.A. requirements. This successful approach has been recognized and supported both city and national design awards to this project. The designs received the prestigious New York Bard Award and a Transportation Design Award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
 
   
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey wished to consolidate the functions of a train station, bus depot and parking facility, into a combined transportation center. WNB+A was commissioned to design a major new structure to bridge the 80 foot open-cut railroad. This new structure would serve as a bridge between the isolated business district and the remainder of Jersey City. The railroad station platforms were realigned, a bus terminal was created at street level, a parking garage added, and a new 10-story office tower constructed. The use of an innovative, suspended structural solution allowed for the construction of the project objectives without impact on existing rail operations and services.
