LINCOLN CENTER DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Lincoln Center
New York, NY

ASD was selected to conduct an all-hazards risk / vulnerability analysis and develop a campus security master plan for the public spaces of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City, NY. ASD has since joined the architectural design team to aid in implementing the recommendations.

The transformation of West 65th Street is the inaugural project in a series of independent but related capital initiatives being planned by Lincoln Center for completion over the course of the coming decade. This first project, designed by the critically acclaimed architectural firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with FX Fowle Architects, creates a vibrant new cultural corridor that spans West 65th Street from Broadway to Amsterdam Avenue and unites the street with the surrounding cityscape. By extending the threshold of Lincoln Center, the campus is opened up to encourage the interaction of artists, teachers, students, and the public. The project includes major facility expansion and enhancement; the transformation of the North Plaza, one of the most important public spaces on campus; and the complete redesign of West 65th Street highlighted by a dramatic new street-level identity program for six resident organizations, including The Juilliard School (with an extensive renovation of Alice Tully Hall), The Film Society of Lincoln Center, Lincoln Center Theater, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Inc., The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and the School of American Ballet.
