A bright, elegant environment was introduced in the new McGraw-Hill Building lobby, completed in 2000, as warm French limestone replaced the lobby’s original walls and portions of the floor. The architect established an entry focal point with a dramatic stainless steel sculpture suspended above a large circular information kiosk. |

The new lobby is a beacon of light readily visible from the Avenue of the Americas. A broad, elevated entrance canopy, designed in stainless steel, makes the lobby’s entrance known from the avenue. |

McGraw-Hill Building tenants have direct weatherproof access to the underground Rockefeller Center Concourse, with more than 100 retail shops and services, and to the B, D, F, and Q Subway trains. On the Concourse, directly opposite the glass wall and doors that open onto the McGraw-Hill Building Plaza, is this stunning 13-foot x-17-foot sculpture, interpreted from a 1930’s design by Hildreth Meiere. This sculpture is the centerpiece of a renovation Rockefeller Group Development Corporation completed in 1988 on the Concourse from 47th Street to 51st Street, along the west side of the Avenue of the Americas. |
