Moynihan Train Hall
The completion of the Moynihan Train Hall created a world-class transit gateway for New York City. Located across the street from Penn Station in the landmarked James A. Farley Building designed by McKim, Mead & White in 1913, the new train hall expands the capacity of Penn Station by providing additional concourse space and access to the existing nine train platforms and 17 tracks that run below it.
Branding was done by Watson & Company utilizing both Empirica and Mallory by Frere-Jones Type.
From World-Architects:
When Moynihan Train Hall opened on New Year’s Day, it marked the completion of what had been a long-held dream for New York City. It is one of the most monumental civic projects undertaken in the city in a generation, and transforms the way millions of people will interact with the city. The project extends Penn Station with a 255,000-square-foot rail hub that services the Long Island Rail Road and Amtrak. It also connects directly with the Eighth Avenue Subway, and plans are in the works to connect it to MetroNorth and AirTrain JFK. For every traveler who passes through the space, the architecture will restore the grandeur of train travel at Penn Station.
