Today Skansa, AECOM, and SOM announced the completion of Penn Station’s Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) concourse renovation, which modernizes and widens LIRR’s 33rd Street train hall corridor—all while maintaining the station’s daily operations and train service.

The reimagined concourse—with a widened corridor, raised ceiling heights, upgraded lighting and wayfinding, new digital information screens, improved mechanical and electrical systems, new architectural finishes, and improved safety and ADA access—now has the capacity and accessibility to meet New York’s growing transportation needs. 

“We worked closely with the design-build team to create a new center of gravity for Penn Station and the LIRR,” said Partner Colin Koop. “The concourse design introduces a clear connection to Seventh Avenue, and simplifies the flow of foot traffic between the street, the subways, and the LIRR—helping travelers easily navigate the station, all in an expansive space filled with light.”
