The Fulton Street Transit Center is the new transportation hub connecting 12 existing subway lines in Lower Manhattan. Ove Arup headed the team with Grimshaw Architects as design lead on the glass domed central structure, with Lee Harris Pomeroy Architects as one of the design sub-consultants. Karen led the restoration of the NYC landmarked 4/5 Platform and its physical and aesthetic connection to Grimshaw’s glass domed structure.

The Dey Street Passageway, the underground link from the Transit Center to the Cortland Street Station and the

Calatrava designed Path station, is designed as an Arts Walk. The Dey Street Entrance is intended to also serve as an open-air urban plaza and meeting place. A fritted glass screen wall and canopy enliven the existing facade of the neighboring retail space. Karen coordinated the design team on the Dey Street Passageway and plaza entrance. The requisite granite stone located at the escalator top transitions into permeable material selected to assist in the storm water runoff at the plaza areas.
