NYC Port Authority Bus Terminal to Boast World’s Largest LED Display


This summer, New Yorkers will witness the transformation


of one of the city’s most forgettable buildings into a model of modern technology. The Port Authority Bus Terminal (PABT), in midtown Manhattan between 40th and 42nd streets, will soon boast the world’s largest transparent media façade, effectively covering the building’s outdated steel façade. GKD-USA, the leading manufacturer of woven metal fabrics, secured the con- tract to manufacture and install 6,000 square feet of its Medi- amesh on the PABT. The project will feature 16 panels containing 1.325million LED diodes. The panels are tensioned stainless steel metal fabric installed on two sides of the building, each side com- prising eight panels. The façade provides a multitude of benefits to the PortAuthority, including opportunities for advertising rev- enue given its prime location one block from Times Square. The addition of the façade alsowill hide the terminal’s 1970s-era steel overlay, which earned the PABT the unflattering designation as one of the 10 ugliest buildings in the world by VirtualTourist.com. However, given the transparent nature of the material, natural lighting and interior views will not be obstruct- ed to occupants inside the building.
