© 2017 Turner Construction Company

The Niarchos Foundation-Rockefeller River Campus adds two acres to the Rockefeller University’s East Side Manhattan footprint by erecting a 900-foot, three-story structure over the FDR drive - a major traffic artery that sees more than 175,000 cars per day and runs along the edge of the East River. The bridge-like structure is being prefabricated in 19 sections and barged to the site from 32 miles away in New Jersey. Each prefabricated module is shipped with two levels of concrete slab, lighting, and fire suppression services for over the roadway, as well as necessary connections for existing buildings on campus, and installed overnight using a barge crane.

Planned for more than a year, each of the 19 midnight installations is a carefully orchestrated sequence that takes into account the tide, which rises and falls approximately three feet, and the river current, which flows at approximately six miles per hour, in addition to more traditional coordination considerations. Once complete, the platform will serve as the foundation for three buildings: a two-story 136,000-square-foot research facility, a 20,500-square-foot Health & Wellness Center, and a 5,000-square-foot Interactive Conference Center.

The project also includes rehabilitation of the seawall and upgrades to the public esplanade adjacent to the campus.
