Case Study: Queens City Block with Rails

This Case Study showcases all 4 of our disciplines, Architecture, Structure, MEPF and Landscape in a single model at our LoD 350 standard. The model contains 3 buildings, 11 storefronts and two rail systems below. Coordinating with the MTA / LIRR was a huge learning experience for us as we continue to work in transportation projects.
