Under the direction of Beyer Blinder Belle, New York City Hall has undergone the first comprehensive renovation in its 200-year lifetime, preparing it for another century of use as the city’s administrative hub. While the landmark looks much as it did originally, the building has been fortified with critical system updates that make it safer and more comfortable for its users.

The project has been honored with multiple preservation awards – including the New York Landmarks Conservancy’s Lucy G. Moses Award – which roundly praise the seamless and invisible integration of upgrades without compromise to the building’s historic fabric and spaces.
