Clerestory windows wrap the space and allow for views of both the Queensboro Bridge and iconic Silvercup Studio sign. The club features the USA’s first LED glass tennis surface, allowing the space to be reconfigured with an ipad to USTA sanctioned courts according to its players needs via different LED configurations. The courts are surrounded by bar of L-shaped program, whose wings include a pro shop, offices and restrooms spectator seating and a food and beverage bar.
