The World Trade Center Transportation Hub is a transit and retail complex currently under construction by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to replace the temporary World Trade Center PATH station. Designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, the Transportation Hub is composed of a train station with a large and open mezzanine under the National September 11 Memorial plaza.This mezzanine is connected to an aboveground head house structure, called the Oculus, located between 2 World Trade Center and 3 World Trade Center, as well as public concourses under the various towers in the World Trade Center complex.see more photos after the cut...
In addition, the station is designed to connect the PATH to the New York City Subway system, and to facilitate a below ground east-west passageway that connects to the various modes of transportation in Lower Manhattan, from the Fulton Center to the Battery Park City Ferry Terminal. Furthermore, to replace the lost retail space from the original Mall at the World Trade Center, significant portions of the Hub will be devoted to the new 365,000 square foot Westfield World Trade Center mall
