TLC Garage and Inspection Facility

Scope/Solutions

The City of New York’s Department of Design and Construction and Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) needed to expand and reconfigure their facility along the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. By adding a new office building over the existing eight-lane garage, TLC gained space within the same footprint, while allowing them to modify ground-level garage operations to reduce wait times and congestion. SGH consulted on the curtain wall design.

SGH assisted the architect with the design of a custom unitized curtain wall system that balances constructability and cost constraints with energy and sustainability targets. Highlights of our work include the following:

  • Reviewed the proposed design and recommended ways to improve performance
  • Designed preliminary details and specifications to integrate the curtain wall with other enclosure systems, including a custom exterior shading system
  • Evaluated thermal performance of the custom curtain wall system
