    Designed by Manhattan-based HLB Lighting Design, Apogee constructed the triangular array hanging from the ceiling at the station’s entrance. It contains individual Lightscape diffused membrane fixtures powered by pixel luminous ceiling LED Panels and diffused via a custom polycarbonate lens, according to a company statement.

    “Of the flagship jobs we have done including the World Trade Center, Citigroup, One Vanderbilt, LIRR Third Track, many boardrooms around the country and countless transit systems, the official opening of the entryway to Penn Station is a very proud moment for our company,” Apogee CEO Michael Boyd said in the statement. “Not only because hundreds of thousands of people will see our work each day, but because this was truly a collaborative effort by our company and our partners like HLB. We were able to make this happen…and bring to life the lighting designer’s vision in a rugged transit environment within one of the busiest commuter hubs, in one of the most travelled cities in the world.” 

    Apogee was joined in the Penn Station project by Holbrook-based general contractor Forte Construction, electrical contractor Dagnachew and lighting designer HLB.
