New York-Presbyterian Hospital Milstein Heart Center
This hospital addition, inserted between two existing hospital buildings, is enclosed by a four-story double-skin glass façade adjacent to a four-story-high atrium with point-supported glass walls and a skylight. Glass floor bridges connect it to the existing buildings on its three upper levels. Each of the addition’s two entries employs its own glazing system: captured insulating glass units and an austere glass canopy mark the 165th Street entrance, while visitors entering at Fort Washington Street pass through an all-glass vestibule backed by a cable truss wall with point-supported glazing.
