Archaeologists and Historians Provide Expertise for New Fulton Street Transit Center
New York City Transit (NYCT) is building a new Fulton Street Transit Center on Broadway and Fulton Street in Lower Manhattan, which will incorporate the historic Corbin Building at 192 Broadway.
AKRF is responsible for administering all aspects of the project related to archaeological resources and historic built properties, ensuring that the requirements of the project’s Programmatic Agreement are met.
The AKRF Cultural Resources team attended the project’s Section 106 design meetings, reviewed proposed designs, and provided recommendations with respect to proposed alterations to historic properties.
AKRF prepared the Cultural Resources Management Plan (CRMP) for all four project contracts and reviewed contract specifications for the last two contracts.
Presently, AKRF is ensuring the implementation of the Construction Environmental Protection Plan (CEPP) for all contracts; the CEPP sets forth measures to protect all potentially vulnerable historic buildings within 90 feet of construction activities.
Future work will include monitoring of the Corbin Building during its alteration and rehabilitation for reuse as part of the new Fulton Street Transit Center.
