The project involved repurposing the historic 1899 hangar into a modern research and manufacturing center, according to ArchDaily and Urban Design Forum. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource The lab was founded by David Belt and Scott Cohen. They co-founded the tech hub in June 2016. Conceptual and Interior Design: Macro Sea. construction managed by DBI Projects. Temporal Coverage Temporal characteristics of the resource. The old building that houses New Lab at the Brooklyn Navy Yard was built during the late 19th to early 20th century era, as Building 128 was originally constructed in 1899 Spatial Coverage Spatial characteristics of the resource. 40.69899747850495, -73.97436231956607 Medium The material or physical carrier of the resource. Steel and Glass Extent The size or duration of the resource. The New Lab at the Brooklyn Navy Yard has a total interior space of 84,000 square feet within a historic 161,000-square-foot building, which features a 70-foot-tall main space with new mezzanines and bridges that create a second level. The new buildouts, including the second level and connecting bridges, add 32,000 square feet to the original layout. Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource High-Tech Modernism, a style that pays homage to the building's industrial past while creating a modern, collaborative workspace. Description An account of the resource In the mid-2010s, developer Macro Sea and Marvel Architects undertook an ambitious restoration: they stripped the exterior back to its original steel frame and reclad it with insulated metal panels and historically accurate windows, restoring the building’s industrial character while improving performance and resilience. Inside, New Lab’s design leverages the building’s generous 70-foot-high roof structure and its original steel trusses and overhead gantry cranes, which remain visually exposed as a kind of “cathedral” structure. A long central circulation spine runs the full 350-foot length of the hall, with daylight filtering in from clerestory windows above and perimeter glazing. New mezzanines were inserted on both sides, suspended from the existing gantries, linked by grated steel catwalks, and supported by some 370 tons of new steel. The mezzanine accommodates private offices, studios, meeting rooms, and event spaces; below, on the ground floor, are open work areas, a fabrication lab (with wood and metal shops), 3D-printing facilities, communal gathering plazas, and lounge areas that encourage collaboration. Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant The New Lab building at the Brooklyn Navy Yard was originally a U.S. Navy machine shop built in 1899 and 1902 for shipbuilding and manufacturing warships. It was later converted into a high-tech design and prototyping center for advanced technologies and innovation. License A legal document giving official permission to do something with the resource.
