NEW YORK | Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) | 138 FT

The only good thing about the lighting is that since the LEDs are on the inside of the facade, it will be way easier to replace busted lights than on some other projects (looking at you, One WTC base cube). Hopefully they maintain it well

Lets hope, but I still suspect it will be slightly difficult because the space the lights are in is only 2 inches wide and 3 in out of view, sandwiched between the columns holding up the façade and the façade lol.

For some reason I can no longer find the images of the light testing that occurred earlier this year anywhere, this is the only thing I could find.

It’s nice that an ADA accessible subway entrance was built with this project, even though it’s not physically incorporated into the structure, atleast it looks nice and modern. I don’t think some people know that there are also subway entrances in the memorial grove as well since they are some what inconspicuous.

Does anyone know if they light up the PAC for 911?

Yes, with External LED lights however. I know because I removed them yesterday.

It’d be nice if the cameras were working to see how it looks in the larger context lit up (and the brightness of it) but they went offline again about a week or so ago.

this shot is stunning! My only nitpick at this point about the building is that the railings should have been seamless glass panels instead.

I just wonder how the vegetation will look on the top. I wonder if that circle of grass rendered on top was just a concept

It wasn’t so much a concept as it was actually part of the old proposal, but it was removed/changed when the building was “redesigned”. But the top isn’t accessible to the public, atleast not that I know of, thats why the guard railing isn’t fancy or anything.

5Bfilms, thanks for the beautiful pics. Glad you didn’t wait, the first one I would frame and hang with my art collection.

I stopped by today. It’s coming along nicely. The stairs are in place at the entrance as well and awaiting cladding, etc.


It’s looking really nice next to 1 WTC.

Saw the full glow for the first time in person on a rainy night last week. Spectacular effect.
