Located on the 26-acre site of the Hudson Yards redevelopment, The Shed is a six-story, 200,000-square-foot cultural center that hosts visual and performing arts exhibitions, including films, concerts, ballet, fashion shows, and more. Utilizing industrial crane technology adapted by H&H, the structure features a 40,000-square-foot column-free exhibition space and a 16,000-square-foot expandable shed, enabling the space to expand and contract to accommodate various events and audiences.
Working with a team of signature architects, engineers, and constructors, including Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Thornton Tomasetti, and Schiame Construction, H&H’s Kinetic Systems Group served as the Kinetics System Consultant and Kinetics Engineer of Record for the adaptable structure.
The Shed hosts exhibitions and performances from around the world and provides event space for New York’s own cultural institutions. Construction on The Shed began in 2015, following the completion of work on the caisson-supported platform over the Hudson Yard tracks. The Shed opened to the public on April 5, 2019.
