Air System Ducting Installation Progresses at the Woolworth Building

Workers connecting metal ducts overhead. — Crews measure and connect duct sections to form the AC system in the Woolworth building.

Crews at the Woolworth building continue advancing the air system installation as ducting is connected throughout the structure. Each section of ductwork is joined and sealed to form a complete network that manages both the inflow and outflow of air. The ducting connects directly to the rooftop AC units, creating a continuous system that distributes conditioned air efficiently across both floors. This installation upgrades the building with modern mechanical systems while preserving its historic framework.
