  • 370 Jay Street, also called the Transportation Building or Transit Building, is a building located at the northwest corner of Jay Street and Willoughby Street within the MetroTech Center complex in Downtown Brooklyn, New York City. The site is bounded by Pearl Street to the west, and was formerly bound by Myrtle Avenue at its north end; this portion of the street has since been de-mapped. The site has historically served as the headquarters for the operating agency of the New York City Transit System, built by the New York City Board of Transportation (BOT). After 1953, it housed the New York City Transit Authority and Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), which succeeded the BOT. The building is notable for housing the revenue-collecting operations of the New York City Subway, performed by money trains on nearby subway lines, which were connected to the lower levels of the building via passageways. The building is one of the earliest modernist buildings in the city. When it opened in the 1950s Lewis Mumford praised it for its design, and architect Robert A. M. Stern in the 1990s considered it a historic building and potential landmark. In recent times, however, the building has been viewed as an "eyesore" within the Downtown Brooklyn landscape, and has fallen into disrepair as the MTA has gradually vacated the building since 1990. In 2012, New York University (NYU) reached an agreement with the MTA to take over the building and renovate and restore it to become part of its Brooklyn Campus. NYU started moving into 370 Jay Street in 2017. (en)
  • 370 Jay Street, también llamado Transportation Building​​ o Transit Building, es un edificio ubicado en la esquina noroeste de Jay Street y Willoughby Street dentro del complejo MetroTech Center en el Downtown Brooklyn, Nueva York (Estados Unidos). El sitio está delimitado por Pearl Street al oeste, y anteriormente estaba limitado por en su extremo norte; esta porción de la calle ha sido desmapada desde entonces.​​​ Históricamente, el sitio ha sido la sede de la agencia operativa del Sistema de Tránsito de la Ciudad de Nueva York, construido por la (BOT). Después de 1953, albergó la Autoridad de Tránsito de la Ciudad de Nueva York y la Autoridad de Transporte Metropolitano (MTA), que sucedió al BOT. El edificio se destaca por albergar las operaciones de recaudación de ingresos del metro de la ciudad de Nueva York, realizadas por money trains en las líneas de metro cercanas, que estaban conectadas a los niveles inferiores del edificio a través de pasillos. El edificio es uno de los primeros edificios modernos de la ciudad.​​​ Inicialmente fue elogiado por su diseño cuando se inauguró en la década de 1950 por Lewis Mumford, y fue considerado un edificio histórico y un hito potencial por el arquitecto Robert A. M. Stern en la década de 1990.​​ En los últimos tiempos, sin embargo, el edificio ha sido visto como una "monstruosidad" dentro del paisaje del centro de Brooklyn, y se ha deteriorado a medida que la MTA ha ido abandonando gradualmente el edificio desde 1990. En 2012, la Universidad de Nueva York (NYU) llegó a un acuerdo con la MTA para hacerse cargo del edificio y renovarlo y restaurarlo para que forme parte de su campus de Brooklyn. NYU comenzó a mudarse a 370 Jay Street en 2017. (es)
