Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts today announced the preliminary design for a $335 million transformation of the west side of its Manhattan campus, a project that will include the creation of a new outdoor performance space, community park spaces and the removal of a long-hated wall that separates the cultural institution from its westernmost neighborhood. The latter element – the “welcoming entrance” – addresses what has long been seen as something of a neighborhood blight: A block-long wall that’s as unattractive as it is ostracizing, a cold-shoulder to its neighbors across Amsterdam Avenue, including public housing complex known as Amsterdam Houses, LaGuardia High School, and the Martin Luther King Jr. Educational Complex.
