WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE PLAZA ALONG MERCER STREET?
The plaza area along Mercer Street between West 3rd and West 4th Streets will be excavated to create a new vault in which the new plant equipment will be located. Upon completion of the construction, a new park will fill the plaza. NYU will be working with NYC Parks Department and the local community to design the new park to provide a more inviting, usable, and visibly pleasing space. Mature trees will be replanted throughout the plaza area as part of the plaza re-landscaping.
