Beginning on Monday, July 26th, the building housing data centers NY1 and NY2, at 100 William Street, will be undergoing a Lobby Renovation program.
Beginning Tuesday, July 27th, the lobby level entrance for the high-rise elevator bank with access to the 21st floor will be closed. To access the 21st floor data center, please use the low-rise elevator bank. Proceed to the 12th floor and there transfer to the high-rise elevator bank. Signs will be posted to direct you to the high-rise elevator bank. The main entrance into the building will also be closed, and instead the entrance on the other (south) side of the lobby will be opened. This is expected to last through the rest of next week.
Beginning Saturday July 31st, access to the arcade from the John Street side will be blocked off, and instead you will need to access from the William and Platt Street side.
We apologize for any inconvenience this causes. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
UPDATE: The work was delayed by a week; the changes in elevator access will begin on Wednesday August 4th, and the closure of the northern lobby entrance will take place on Saturday, August 7th.
