When architects HLW International began a $40 million renovation of the Old Nassau County Courthouse, a turn-of-the-century neoclassical edifice with a decaying structure and outdated interiors, they turned to structural steel to restore the historic principles of the initial design while adapting to the present-day requirements of the county. The new Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building highlights the original architectural features while adding a 25,100-square-foot annex building to house the county executive and legislative chambers.

The Jacob K. Javits Federal Building in Manhattan’s Civic Plaza is home to 20 federal agencies, including the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which receives more than 1,000 visitors each day. To solve the problem of long lines outside the building, the result of the security screening process implemented in 1995, the General Services Administration hired architecture firm Lehman-Smith + McLeish and structural engineering firm Weidlinger to design a new pavilion on the building’s Broadway side. Wanting to maintain the open, glassy aspect of the original 1967 Kahn & Jacobs-designed lobby, the team framed the pavilion in structural steel to create a light-filled, lightweight structure that could be supported by an existing underground garage.

Though early egg shaped digester (ESD) facilities were constructed of poured-in-place concrete, the difficulty and cost of forming the digesters’ complex shapes with that method finalized the Department of Environmental Protection’s decision to use steel as the primary material throughout the Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility. Rather than attempt to hide the 110-foot-tall digester eggs, Polshek Partnership Architects clad the exotic forms in stainless steel and linked them with lighted steel and glass aerial walkways and turrets.

Perkins Eastman architects knew that steel framing is as flexible and accommodating as the new 32-story, 473-foot-tall tower, called 12 MetroTech Center, needed to be. Containing offices, courtrooms, detention facilities, and more, this high-rise includes an unusually large number of long span spaces and specialized circulation routes.
