Junction Boulevard Station Complex
The Junction Boulevard (Roosevelt Avenue) Station is an express stop on the #7 Flushing IRT Line serving the heavily populated Fresh Meadows neighborhood of Queens.

The project's scope of work presents several transit and community design challenges, including: the provision of ADA access to two isolated island platforms and the provision of street level access in a dense mixed-use neighborhood to maximize the existing station. A "kit-of-parts" approach to using preassembled elements will minimize disruption to train operations and the activities of the surrounding community.

To meet these challenges, massing and building components were developed to integrate four new ADA compliant elevators and a connecting pedestrian overpass into the existing train viaduct and surrounding low-rise, mixed-use community.

These innovative design solutions have since become a prototype influencing future transit station and ADA accessibility improvements.
