A Peek Inside the Atlantic Terminal Station

It's not open to the public yet, but according to one tipster (who goes on Twitter by @steadyblogging), the interior is now visible from the 2/3 turnstiles. Very futuristic—in a 1980s kind of way.

Yeah, the future seems kinda boring. As long as there's a clock in this one anywhere near the departure board.

Oooh... it's a big tangram puzzle.

Q-bert would get aroused by this

What the...

I would have just preferred it opened 4 years ago.

Makes sense. Wasn't the original opening for this thing scheduled for the 80's? I kid, I kid....

brownstoner et al...

How does it feel to go through life hating everything???

Its not even open yet, we cant see it and yet you already hate it.....

Maybe your happy in all your negativity but if not...seek therapy.

Seriously, they need to finish up and get their crap off the sidewalk. I was thinking that again this morning as I passed. It's a joke how long this has taken.

Oh, FRSQ, likewise, relax...follow your own advice. What do you want us to write? "Love, love, love!!!" as you can find on interior design/apartment blogs which I won't name? Look, there's a smattering of positive comments and negative comments and discussions in the middle.

In the case of the entrance/entryway to the LIRR/subway/Ratner mall, I think we're all safe pointing out that this project has so far taken way too long and inconvenienced commuters, pedestrians and the people in the community for much longer than necessary...

I think the thing on the wall is kind of funny, although a touch trendy...and not in keeping with the overall design aesthetic. In view of the length of time it the project is taking, this does, in fact, seem like a big waste of materials and time to install. I had hoped this entryway would have been big and airy. Had no idea a big gray,faceted blob would be hanging over the atrium space. Is that laminated granite? Or synthetic? I wouldn't have minded seeing one of those green wall installations. They can be spectacular.

No wide plank floors...

where's the repurposed wood?

Posted by: bxgrl at September 9, 2009 3:49 PM

Will the refurbished station still have the delightful scent of urine? Will it still rain underground? My guess is yes. These are just aesthetic changes. Money well spent, I suppose. But all is for the best!
