Tour the Javits Center's six-block campus to learn about the state-of-the-art operations behind the largest events in New York City and the innovative efforts that transformed this New York icon into a nationwide model of sustainability.

From a 6.75-acre green roof to a new rooftop working farm, the Javits Center is proving the power of sustainability by reducing its energy consumption, maintaining a unique wildlife habitat and improving the quality of life for its employees, customers and neighbors -- including those with wings and those without!

With the recent completion of a 1.2 million square-foot expansion on Manhattan's West Side, there has never been a better time to visit the Javits Center and understand how this blockbuster venue serves as one of the Empire State's greatest economic assets, supporting the hotel, restaurant, tourism and transportation industries.

***Please note this is an indoor/outdoor tour that includes extensive walking throughout the Javits Center campus, and proof of full COVID-19 vaccination is required to participate.
