Athletics Department

New York University requested that we plan the design and relocation of the NYU Athletics Department’s main offices to a historic landmark building within NoHo’s Mercer Street. This 4th floor was strategically selected since on the West end of the floor, it overlooks the recently completed Paulson Center, where NYU’s newest athletics facilities are located. Our team developed the programming with Athletics leadership and incorporated the required space planning with inspiring environmental graphics that were also designed by MAD. Always with an eye on sustainability, we carefully restored the existing wood floors which recalled gymnasium interiors, and even added a series of carefully edited lines emphasizing its familiar use.
