The focus of this design-build project was on providing full vertical ADA accessibility at the station and bringing the station to a state of good repair, including structural steel repairs, platform edge replacements, platform roof canopy replacements, platform windscreen replacements, platform pre-cast panel replacements, rehabilitation of treads, risers, landings and guiderails on interior and street-level staircases, and improved floor and wall finishes in the mezzanine. Work at the station also included enhancements to the customer experience and aesthetic improvements, including improved lighting, more intuitive wayfinding, the addition of Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity, improved audio and visual announcements via upgraded PA/CIS systems, and the incorporation of MTA Arts & Design artwork.
The station was fit out with new ADA hydraulic elevators servicing the street, mezzanine, and platforms. Station elements being repaired or replaced included girders, columns, stringers, platform edges, ADA boarding areas, platform roof canopies, platform windscreens, platform pre-cast panels, street-level stairs, interior stairs, mezzanine flooring and mezzanine walls, and lighting.
