BEE BEE HOLES IN STRECKER WINDOW THAT HAS BEEN THERE A WHILE. PLEASE REPAIR NEW YORK TRANSIT!
THE 2020 PLAN FOR THE GENERATOR PLATFORM
THE PLATFORM IS TAKING SHAPE JUST SOUTH OF STRECKER LABORATORY. FROM THE IMAGE ON THE RENDERING TO REALITY IT SEEMS THAT THE STRUCTURE IS HIGHER AND HAS ALL KINDS OF EQUIPMENT ON THE ROOF LEVEL.
