A historic part of the original 1904 IRT subway in New York
City, the 96th Street subway station serves more than 64,000 daily
commuters. Located at the intersection of 96th Street and Broadway
on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the station recently underwent
a $98 million renovation
Mequon, Wis.-based Super Sky Products Enterprises LLC, in
conjunction with Suffern, N.Y.-based distributor, Atlantech Systems
Inc., and general contractor, Citnalta Construction Corp., Bohemia,
N.Y., worked with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to
provide skylights to cap each entrance. Two, narrow,
large-circumference, barrel vault skylights flank the east and west
sides. The north and south entries are covered by two cylindrical
vault skylights. Lintec of Wausau, Wis., finished the skylights'
aluminum in a two-coat, PPG Duranar 70 PVDF Silver White coating
that meets the AAAMA 2605 specification.

winters in New York's history.
