The Fulton Center is a transit center and retail complex centered at the intersection of Fulton Street and Broadway in Lower Manhattan, New York City. The complex is part of a $1.4 billion project by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), a public agency of the state of New York, to rehabilitate the Fulton Street New York City Subway station, and construct new underground passageways and access points into the complex. The complex officially opened on November 10, 2014, along with the Dey Street Passageway. The project is intended to improve access to and connections among the New York City Subway services stopping at the Fulton Street station and, through the Dey Street Passageway and the upcoming World Trade Center Transportation Hub, provide connections to the Chambers Street – World Trade Center / Park Place, Cortlandt Street (), and Cortlandt Street () stations, as well as the PATH World Trade Center station. Funding for the construction project, which began in 2005, dried up for several years, with no final approved plan and no schedule for completion. Plans for the transit center, however, were rejuvenated by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. It used to be referred to as the Fulton Street Transit Center, but was rebranded the Fulton Center in May 2012 because of an increased focus on retail. ==Overview== The Fulton Center connects the via an east-west underground passageway, and features a high-visibility Transit Center with entrances on Broadway between Fulton Street and John Street. In addition to work on the four linked Fulton Street stations, the Dey Street Passageway was built outside fare control to connect to the Cortlandt Street (BMT Broadway Line) station. Originally, a passageway inside fare control was to be built to connect to the World Trade Center (IND Eighth Avenue Line) station, part of the Chambers Street – World Trade Center / Park Place station complex. However, this passageway was ultimately cancelled due to value engineering.〔 Ove Arup and Partners served as the prime consultant of the entire project.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NEW MILESTONE FOR THE FULTON STREET TRANSIT CENTER )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NY1 Exclusive: MTA Gives Tour Of Fulton Street Transit Center )〕 The entire project cost US$1.4 billion. The major elements of the Fulton Center rehabilitation project included: * Rehabilitation of the Fulton Street station on the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line. * Rehabilitation of the Fulton Street station on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line. New entrances were opened at the corner of Broadway and Maiden Lane (for the northbound platform) and at Cortlandt Street and Broadway (for the southbound platform).〔() 〕 * The mezzanine serving the Fulton Street station on the IND Eighth Avenue Line, which previously consisted of several ramps on either side of Nassau Street, was straightened. * A new station building, the Fulton Building, constructed along the east side of Broadway, between Fulton and John Streets. The new station required the demolition of the Girard Building and the former Childs Restaurant Building and incorporates the landmark Corbin Building at the corner of Broadway and John Street. It was considered to be cancelled at one point, but was saved in 2009 through funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This portion of the project is part of a master lease to lease over 60,000 square feet of space. * A new passageway, Dey Street Passageway (outside of the fare control〔) was built under Dey Street, connecting the Fulton Street station complex to the Cortlandt Street station on the BMT Broadway Line and to the World Trade Center Transportation Hub. * A new entrance building was constructed on the southwest corner of Broadway and Dey Street, providing direct access to the Dey Street passageway. * The entire complex was made ADA-accessible. Ten escalators and fifteen elevators were installed, as well as two ADA accessible public restrooms on the concourse and the street levels.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MTA - news - Welcome to the New Fulton Center )〕 The Fulton Center is applying for LEED certification.〔 There will also be a connection to the World Trade Center station, the Cortlandt Street station, and the World Trade Center Transportation Hub and PATH service.
