NYC DOHMH

Relocation of three departments for the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to the Factory Building in Long Island City. Over 500 staff from The Office of School Health, Environmental Sciences and Engineering and TB Control share the floor, allowing for greater interdepartmental coordination and collaboration. Open communal areas, flexible training spaces, and numerous meeting and work rooms are tightly arranged within the largely exposed concrete and masonry structure, referenced by focused interventions of simply crafted, natural materials.
