The new Whitney building is a 200,000-square-foot building in downtown Manhattan. Located on Gansevoort Street between West Street and the High Line, it includes more than 50,000 square feet of indoor galleries and 13,000 square feet of outdoor exhibition space on a series of rooftops facing the High Line. The dramatically cantilevered entrance along Gansevoort Street shelters an 8,500-square-foot outdoor plaza. CAST CONNEX® Universal Pin Connectors™ were selected by Renzo Piano Building Workshop for the first floor exposed steel braces in keeping with the artistic nature of the surroundings.
