Interchange: Nassau

The Parsons’ Design Workshop reconfigured and revitalized an unused commercial space in the Equitable Building for the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. Through collaboration with their corporate partners, the LMCC provides arts venues in donated spaces to facilitate cultural events, artist studio space and display galleries.

The Interchange: 15 Nassau project provided a versatile space for client use by constructing a power and lighting system to support mobile program units. The dock wall anchors the intervention along one side of the space allowing the program units for reception (marketing material display and greeting center),  media (projection, LCD screen, DJ), conference (chair storage and fold out tables) and bar to break free and occupy the space as needed for various uses and events.
