Javits Center

Yesterday was our Years of Service luncheon for Javits employees celebrating their work anniversaries for their 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th and 30th years. Of the 53 employees celebrating, over half were celebrating their 20th anniversary or higher – a testament to the positive environment and investment Javits makes in our staff. We are proud to not only be fulfilling our mission to bring job opportunities to New York but to be a place where people can build a career.

Congratulations to those celebrating!

The Crystal Palace creates a grand entrance for every event that takes place at Javits Center! The soaring 15-story structure is made of steel and glass - creating a welcoming and bright first impression for guests and giving people walking by the opportunity to see what’s happening at the busiest convention center in the United States.

Fun fact: all 6,000 panels of glass in the Crystal Palace are made of bird-friendly glass, which has reduced bird collisions at Javits by more than 90%

Javits is more than just a convention center! We are also a wildlife sanctuary due to the incredible rooftop habitats, including our 6.75-acre green roof, our one-acre rooftop farm and nine beehives.

Our green roof is home to hundreds of herring gull nests in season. NYC Bird Alliance monitors the herring gull population to gather data on migration patterns. NYC Bird Alliance has also spotted 70 different species and all five species of bats native to New York on our rooftop!

Farmers from Brooklyn Grange maintain the multiple pollinator gardens on our one-acre rooftop farm. These gardens are essential to native pollinators in the urban landscape of NYC!

Our nine beehives each house up to 80,000 bees per hive! Astor Apiaries monitor the health of the hive and leads responsible honey harvests, which is used in our in-house catering. Fun Fact: September is National Honey Month!

Two special guests arrived in NYC for Climate Week! NYC Bird Alliance spotted two new species of birds on the Javits Center green roof – bringing the total up to 70 species that now utilize the roof!

Since Javits Center’s green roof opened in 2014, it has served as a haven for migrating birds and provided essential habitat as urbanization overtook green space within the city. The increasing number of species spotted at Javits demonstrate how important this 6.75-acre green roof is to our ecosystem.

Visit us at The Nest Climate Campus to learn more about birds at Javits Center!
