At the foundation of supporting industry – from shipbuilding to manufacturing – is the architecture and infrastructure on the Yard’s 300-acre site. Built to Last, Built for Change provides a glimpse into some of the Yard’s most well-known buildings that shape the character and visual landscape of the Brooklyn Navy Yard both past and present. As the work on view illustrates, the changes in the architecture and infrastructure on site are emblematic of the overarching technological advancement of the Yard itself, a built environment that signifies the Yard’s economic and social impact over time, a built environment that has changed to constantly support manufacturing and innovation. Built to Last, Built for Change offers a small glimpse into the holdings of the BNYDC Archives, which collects, organizes, and preserves the organization’s corporate records and assets, as well as material relating to the Yard’s history.
