The Oculus

About The Oculus

Opened in 2016, the Oculus is the head house of the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, its steel ribs rising like wings over a marble-floored hall. A skylight runs the length of the spine and opens each September 11th. Below the main floor, Westfield World Trade Center connects shops, the PATH trains and several subway lines.
