Columbus Circle is one of New York City’s original IRT stations, dating from 1904. A primary transit hub, it serves more than 200,000 riders daily and is the eighth busiest in Manhattan.

Dattner Architects’ renovation organizes, rehabilitates, and restores this sprawling, multi-level subway station complex at the intersection of the original Broadway Line (No. 1 Line) and the more recent IND subway (A, C, B, and D Lines).  The renovation was planned to allow this high-volume station to remain operational throughout the construction. The design team worked in close collaboration with the MTA in order to keep all lines functioning, and platforms accessible and safe throughout the project.
