New York Presbyterian Hospital 68th Street Entrance
Award of Merit, Small Project (Under $10 Million)
The new 68th Street entrance to the New York Presbyterian Hospital in New York has a new canopy with a modern design. The project included renovation of the hospital's courtyard and the interior lobby, which was originally designed in the 1920s. The lobby consisted of two 20-ft arches filled with panel glass; these were removed and replaced with double-paned stainless-steel and glass storefronts with double-door side vestibules. On the exterior, an existing cloth canopy was replaced with a glass and stainless-steel canopy complete with heat and lighting.
