In Close Quarters at Ground Zero Site, A Spirit of Cooperation Reigns
In the giant “ant colony” under the $18-billion World Trade Center rebuild in Lower Manhattan, there are seven major concurrent projects (eight, if the 500,000 sq ft of retail space dispersed throughout much of the development is counted). Each of the seven projects shares the WTC's four-level basement, which stretches over the 16-acre site. In the bowels of the WTC complex, building services for the WTC Trans-
portation Hub are “next door” in 3 WTC. The central chiller plant is under the National September 11th Memorial, the memorial is over the hub, and so on.
