Designed by Cass Gilbert (the architect of
the Woolworth Building) and built inseventeen months in 1918 and 1919, the vemillion square-foot Terminal complexwas the largest military supply base in the US upthrough WWII. In the decades following that war,the BAT became less essential to the federal
government; in 1964 it was deemed unnecessaryfor national defense. It was unused for most of the1960s, but in the 1970s, the City of New York began
leasing space from the feds. In 1981 the City
of New York bought the complex, with the intention ofrestoring it for use as a light-manufacturing warehouse. In the 1980s, City spent $86.4 million to renovate2.2 million square feet of the complex. Since then, things have
slowed down, and from 1990 to 2001, $41.5 millio
n has been spent to renovate 900,000 square feet. The nal renovation phase was completed in 2003.
