Facility / MEP Design

The purpose of the MTA’s Enhanced Station Initiative was the complete overhaul of thirty-three subway stations in all five boroughs (est. $881 Million). Updates included cellular service, Wi-Fi, charging stations, improved signage, subway countdown clocks, service alerts, On-The-Go Informational Dashboards, and improved station lighting. Concrete repairs, new platform edges, waterproofing, wall tile patching, and structural steel repairs brought the stations into a “State of Good Repair.”

The renovations were done in eight "Packages," which allowed contractors to renovate three to five stations in a given area simultaneously. The second Package was along the BMT Astoria Line in Queens, namely the 30th Avenue, Broadway, 36th Avenue, and 39th Avenue Stations.
