As principal and project manager with prior firms, Tony Daniels was responsible for the design of New York City Transit’s Stillwell Terminal Train Shed. The shed spans over 4 platforms and 8 tracks at New York City Transit’s busiest terminal station and provides some 250,000 kilowatt hours of clean solar-generated electricity per year to the facility. The shed’s simple, modular, and panelized design and the integration of new technology into a conventional skylight frame enabled construction within a tightly compressed time frame.
A light catcher in every sense of the word, each of the shed’s 2,730 identical panels admit a small amount of light to the platform, connecting passengers to the sky and the world around them.
