説明 | 31-10 Thomson Avenue was originally operated as the Equitable Paper Bag factory building. In 1954, the company claimed to manufacture the largest paper bag in the world, measuring 14 feet (4.3 m) long. In 1984 the building was purchased by LaGuardia Community College, with the college proposing a major project to renovate the building and connect it to its Main Building (adjacent). The plans were drawn up by Danforth Toan of the architectural firm Warner, Burns, Toan and Lund. Toan was an architect known for Brutalist architecture and one who specialized in college libraries across North America. Ground was broken for the project on November 16, 1989, and the new building complex was dedicated and opened on June 4, 1992. The project included the LaGuardia Performing Arts Center at the south end of the building, featuring an 800-seat proscenium theater, and a new campus library at the north end. The basement of the complex contains the athletic facilities of the college. This includes a six-lane NCAA regulation swimming pool constructed in the 1992 project, a fitness center, and a gymnasium for multiple sports including basketball.~ Wikipedia Further info on: Danforth Toan, Architect (click to view)Further info on: LaGuardia Community College (click to view)__This photo is included in the album titled New York City Architecture (click to view that entire album) |
