After the New York Board of Trade (NYBOT) was dispossessed from its Four World Trade Center home by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack, it was conducting its trading operations at a temporary facility elsewhere in New York City. A comprehensive search for a permanent home culminated in an offer from the New York Mercantile Exchange to share its harborside trading facility with NYBOT. Peter Skujins Architect PC, in collaboration with Stonehill & Taylor, was given the task of completely reconfiguring one of the Exchange's trading floors to make room for NYBOT. Six large trading rings and almost 300 trading booths, along with more than 1000 telephone lines and data recording and display equipment, had to be reorganized and relocated. The Architects developed a strategic schedule of construction consisting of 22 carefully sequenced phases of work, all on overtime and spanning several months. This meticulous planning enabled trading operations to proceed uninterrupted during the entire course of construction, without missing a single vital trade.
