370 Jay Street, Modern office building in Downtown Brooklyn, United States
370 Jay Street is a 13-story modern office building located at the intersection of Jay Street and Willoughby Street in Downtown Brooklyn. Its facade features white limestone cladding with uniform casement windows arranged in symmetrical rows across the entire structure.
The structure was constructed in 1951 under architect William Haugaard's design and initially served as headquarters for New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Authority. It later transitioned from this original purpose to serve different functions and users.
The building now houses New York University programs focused on computer science, engineering, and digital media studies. Students move through its spaces daily, working on projects and attending classes in these technology-focused fields.
The building sits at a convenient location with direct access to multiple subway lines through underground passageways beneath street level. Visitors can easily explore different parts of the neighborhood without needing to go back above ground.
The basement originally contained a specialized money sorting room where workers processed daily fare collections from the entire subway system. This hidden workspace tells the story of the infrastructure needed to keep the city's transit running smoothly.
