(Bloomberg) -- Transit riders in downtown Manhattan’s new subway hub snapped photos and craned necks to gaze up at the 53-foot glass enclosure that crowns the $1.4 billion Fulton Center.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority opened the site today, replacing a decaying underground warren. It links nine different lines to accommodate 300,000 daily riders and renovates a station that was partially ruined in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Riders are met with digital signs, polished tiles and ample sunlight.
“This is arguably one of our first 21st century transit hubs in New York,” said Richard Sarrach, an architecture professor at Pratt Institute in New York. “It’s really a proper arrival point for hundreds of thousands of people every single day.”
