The Market East Gallery Mall hovers above several strategic transit lines, including two subway stations and one regional rail station, and sits aside four cross-town bus lines. While maintaining the unique chaos of the site, we propose to integrate undergraduate- and graduate-student housing into the top two levels of the existing structure. This specific program user group can thrive atop the disorder while plugging into regional access of major universities. By carefully shaving away the existing building and gradually adding back to the structure, we can Incorporate other supporting programmatic functions, like a fitness center, cafes, and outdoor space that may be used by all users, both university-affiliated and the general public.
