St. John’s Terminal Google Office

When Google sought to deep­en its invest­ment in New York City, it found a sus­tain­able path for­ward with­in the city’s rich his­to­ry in St. John’s Ter­mi­nal. First opened in 1934 as the south­ern ter­mi­nus for the West Side Rail Line — since repur­posed as High Line Park — the build­ing has been adap­tive­ly reimag­ined by Gensler as a 12-sto­ry mod­ern office build­ing with reuse and sus­tain­abil­i­ty at the heart of its design. Wolf-Gordon’s Felt­ed acousti­cal wall­cov­er­ing embod­ies this ethos. Made of 100% post-con­sumer recy­cled con­tent and dig­i­tal­ly print­ed with a cus­tom design, it enables acousti­cal com­fort and col­lab­o­ra­tion in the building’s con­fer­ence rooms. In addi­tion, cus­tom-print­ed win­dow film allowed the design­ers to repur­pose pre-exist­ing glazing.
