The tour will discuss the Javits Center’s pioneering bird-friendly glass, visit the rooftop Farm, Food Forest, and Pollinator Garden, and explore how these habitats support pollinators, bats, and migratory birds. 

Directions to Tour Meeting Spot:

The tour will start at the North Javits Center building (entrance at 11th Avenue and 38th Street), on the 4th Floor. Meet at the “Roof Tour” meeting spot next to The Nest registration desk.

Transportation & Accessibility:

The Javits Center is accessible via the M11, M12, and M34-SBS buses, as well as the 7 train line. It also contains on-site parking (for a fee). We will be walking for much of the tour, including a lot of time outside on the roof. Elevators, escalators, sitting areas, and restrooms are present on site. Visit the Javits Center website for more information on directions.
