Fulton Center, Transit and retail complex in Lower Manhattan, US
Fulton Center is a subway station and shopping complex located at the intersection of Fulton Street and Broadway in Lower Manhattan. It connects five different subway stations that together serve nine train lines, with interconnected mezzanines and passageways designed for easy navigation.
The complex opened in 2014 and brought together several subway stations that had operated separately since their original construction. This renovation unified transportation infrastructure that had developed piecemeal over more than a century.
The center sits at a major crossroads where daily commuters transfer between different subway lines, making it a vital junction in the city's transit system. People move through the bright mezzanines as part of their everyday routines connecting different neighborhoods.
The different subway lines are clearly marked with signs and connected by bright, open mezzanines that are easy to follow. Take a moment to orient yourself when entering, as the complex is larger than a typical subway station and has multiple levels.
An overhead dome features a Sky Reflector-Net structure made of prismatic glass blades that direct natural sunlight down into the underground spaces below. This design makes the subterranean areas feel brighter and less confined than typical subway stations.
