West 65th Street Project: Diller Scofidio + Renfro in association with FXFOWLE Architects Promenade Project: Diller Scofidio + Renfro in association Beyer Blinder Belle Architects and Planners Harmony Atrium: Tod Williams Billie Tsien, Architects
West 65th Street Project
Designed by the critically acclaimed architectural firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with FXFOWLE Architects, the plan will unite the street with the surrounding cityscape. The design embraces the spirit of the original 1960’s architecture, while incorporating elements of transparency to create a new language celebrating the vitality of the cultural complex today. The West 65th Street design will open up Lincoln Center to encourage the interaction of thousands of visitors and more than 5,000 artists, teachers, and students who work and practice every day in the 81 practice and 80 rehearsal rooms, 13 dance studios, and 13 stages and concert halls that border West 65th Street. The design will create a “Street of the Arts” lined on both sides with new building facades, innovative visitor information systems, dramatic lighting, new indoor and outdoor facilities for dining and refreshments. The Project includes major facility expansion and a new destination restaurant with a public roof lawn on the North Plaza, a spacious new retail shop, and a dramatic new street-level identity for six resident organizations: The Juilliard School, The Film Society of Lincoln Center, Lincoln Center Theater, Lincoln Center, Inc., The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and the School of American Ballet.
The innovative West 65th Street Project also features an extensive renovation of Alice Tully Hall. One of the most popular venues at Lincoln Center—hosting more than 750 activities a year—the Hall has not undergone a major renovation since its opening in 1969. To address its outdated public amenities and inadequate performer support, Alice Tully Hall is undergoing a major aesthetic and functional transformation to make it a more welcoming destination.
Lincoln Center Promenade
Drawing upon the same design vocabulary and palette of materials being used in Lincoln Center’s inaugural West 65th Street Project—glass, travertine, new landscape features, and integrated information technologies for enhancing the visitor experience—the Promenade Project, is designed to further unite Lincoln Center with the surrounding cityscape. Construction for the Project is being integrated into West 65th Street construction activity.
Diller Scofidio + Renfro have created a plan to rebuild Lincoln Center’s primary entryway along Columbus Avenue, and to upgrade and reenergize the adjacent Josie Robertson Plaza. The new design will reconfigure the vehicular and pedestrian approach to the Plaza from Columbus Avenue by sinking the existing service road that leads up to the Plaza below street level, and by dramatically expanding the current staircase to the Plaza from the street.
Considered by many as the main lobby to the entire campus, Josie Robertson Plaza—the open public space with its central Revson Fountain set into a distinctive patterned pavement designed by Philip Johnson—also will be updated. The Plaza pavement masonry will be totally renovated, and the Fountain will be enhanced with new lighting, improved seating, and technical upgrades.

Transforming Lincoln Center
Lincoln Center is the world’s leading performing arts center, uniting on one campus 12 of the finest performing arts and educational organizations located anywhere. After more than four decades of artistic excellence and service to its community, the nation, and to the world, Lincoln Center is embarking upon a major transformation initiative to fully modernize its concert halls and public spaces, renew its 16-acre urban campus, and reinforce its vitality for decades to come.
Much of Lincoln Center’s infrastructure and many of its notable performance and educational facilities require renovation, and in some cases, considerable expansion. Changes in the needs and interests of the public also inspire a thorough reconsideration of the campus’ original design in the context of current and future programming priorities. These factors became the framework for a campus-wide planning initiative, with the West 65th Street and Promenade Projects—scheduled to be substantially completed for Lincoln Center’s 50th anniversary celebration in 2009-2010.
A related project will be the transformation of the Harmony Atrium, a privately-owned public space between Broadway and Columbus Avenues and West 62nd and 63rd Streets, into a vibrant public community and cultural visitor center offering performances, information, and ticket services.

The Lincoln Centre
Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts is a 16.3-acre (61,000 m²) complex of buildings in New York City which serves as home for 12 arts organizations: Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center,Film Society of Lincoln center,Jazz at Lincoln Center,Juilliard School,Lincoln Center Theatre,Metropolitan Opera,New York City Ballet,New York opera,New York Philharmonic,New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, School of American Ballet, and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Inc.
A consortium of civic leaders and others led by, and under the initiative of John D.Rockefeller III, built Lincoln Center as part of the "Lincoln Square Renewal Project" during Robert Moses’ program of urban renewal in the 1960s. Rockefeller was its inaugural president from 1956 and became its chairman in 1961. He is credited with raising more than half of the $184.5 million in private funds needed to build the complex, including drawing on his own funds; the Rockefeller Brothers Fund also contributed to the project.
The first structure to be completed and occupied as part of this renewal was the Fordham Law School of Fordham University in 1962. Located between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues, from West 60th to West 66th Street on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the Lincoln Center complex was the first gathering of major cultural institutions into a centralized location in an American city.
Lincoln Center cultural institutions also make use of facilities located away from the main campus. In 2004 Lincoln Center was expanded through the addition of Jazz at Lincoln Center's newly built facilities ( Frederick P.Rose Hall) at the new Time Warner Center, located a few blocks to the south. In March 2006 Lincoln Center launched construction on a major redevelopment plan that will modernize, renovate, and open up the Lincoln Center campus in time for its 50th anniversary celebration in 2009.
Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Inc. is one of the 12 resident organization listed above, and serves three primary roles: presenter of artistic programming, national leader in arts and education and community relations, and manager of the Lincoln Center campus. As a presenter of more than 400 events annually, its programs include American Songbook, Great Performers, Lincoln Center Festival, Lincoln Center Out of Doors, Midsummer Night Swing, the Mostly Mozart Festival, and the Emmy Award-winning Live From Lincoln Center.
In July 2006, LCPA announced it will join with publishing company John Wiley & Sons, Inc. to publish at least 15 books, which will focus on performing arts, and will draw on Lincoln Center Institute’s educational background and archives.
