NEW YORK | Fulton Center | 2014

On Sunday, November 9, 2014, the MTA unveiled the Fulton Center, located at the crossroads of Lower Manhattan on Broadway between John and Fulton Streets. This fully digital and accessible transit and retail hub serves as New York City's next great public space and integrates architectural ingenuity that fuses history, art, and sustainable engineering.
Encased in a glass and steel shell, Fulton Center improves the commuter experience by providing seamless transfers for up to 300,000 daily passengers of the A,C,J,Z,2,3,4,5 and R lines and will improve access to PATH trains and the E and 1 lines when additional work by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is completed.
Prior to the Fulton Center project, passengers had to maneuver through a complicated series of ramps, stairs, and passageways to access their trains, with frequent bottlenecks at the busy 4 and 5 Line to A and C Line transfer point. Platform overcrowding and lack of ADA accessibility also made the complex difficult to navigate.
The Fulton Center features open direct paths, widened corridors, and new mezzanines to separate entering, exiting, and transferring customers.
This better distributes passengers, decreases overcrowding, and vastly reduces train loading and unloading delays, improving the overall customer experience.
