Skidmore, Owings & Merrill have signed on as the architecture firm for the Moynihan Station, a project that would transform the James A. Farley Post Office, which sits adjacent to Penn Station, into a main railway hub. Although the official contract signing occurred today, Skidmore has long been involved with the project, taking a key role in the station’s evolving design since the 1990s, with the firm’s David Childs designing an early version of the station 10 years ago. The project, which received $83.3 million from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act last month, is set to begin this year, with the architecture contract signing marking a major move forward in the plans.
