Architecture

The phased transformation provides modern, seated workspaces with room for multiple computer screens; replacing crowded, wooden booths where brokers and their assistants stand elbow to elbow.

The remake of the main room of the world’s best-known trading floor uses sleek, curved, translucent glass walls and new lighting to brighten the room and recapture the marble walls and original windows that were obscured earlier.

The project also includes streamlining the large, circular desks throughout the trading floor where the designated market makers are located, as well as updating the electronic wallboards into color, high-definition, flexible-content displays. The project will result in approximately 200 individual broker stations.
