The Javits Center Renovation & Expansion

Located on the far west side of Manhattan, the Javits Center is New York City's primary venue for trade shows but lacks space to accommodate large conventions or concurrent shows. In collaboration with Epstein, FXCollaborative developed a plan to renovate the building enclosure and expand the facility from 1.9 million to nearly 6 million square feet in two phases, adding exhibition space, meeting rooms, service areas, support space, and food service areas as well as an associated hotel. To better integrate the convention center into the urban fabric, the project includes transforming the entry plaza into a pedestrianfriendly landscaped urban space, creating new entrances, and recladding the entire building enclosure with a new highperformance curtain wall and skylights. The Javit's Center new 6.75acre green roof, the largest green roof in the Northeast, reduces water runoff and heat gain, helping to lower the facility's annual energy consumption by 26%.
