The plaza is being removed to open up the block of West 65th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue to more sunlight and air, part of Lincoln Center's plan to reinvigorate the block and turn it into what officials describe as "a dynamic 'Street of the Arts.'"
The work is scheduled to continue through the month of August. Once demolition is complete, the area directly in front of Lincoln Center Theater will be renamed, with the permission of the Milstein family, the Paul Milstein Pool and Terrace.
