After seemingly endless discussions and planning sessions and numerous iterations, the Moynihan Train Hall has made a giant splash in the nations most populated city. By redeveloping the James A. Farley Post Office Building, the hall "once again provides visitors with a grand entrance to New York City," according to the team's submission for ASCE s 2022 OCEA awards. The original Penn Station was demolished in the mid-1960s, and plans to extend its replacement into the Farley building began in 1992 when Amtrak suggested relocating into the adjacent and largely vacant building. Sen. Patrick Moynihan, D-N.Y, seized upon the idea and ran with it. Others, including Andrew Cuomo during his time as New York governor, championed the new space after Moynihan died in 2003.
