Originally constructed in 1923 as the Mechanics and Metals National Bank, building is located at the intersection of Second Avenue and14th Street.
One of the first of its kind in the nation, Transgender Surgical Care Center is located on the second floor and provides the highest quality advanced surgical care for Transgender and non-binary people.
The Transgender Center provides patients care before and after their surgical procedures. The facility has 3 exam rooms and 1 procedure room, all fully equipped with advanced patient education technology in a relaxing room setting. The reception area wall has been designed with a Sol Lewitt masterpiece “ WD
#1173 Bands of Six Colors In Four Directions”  installed for the enjoyment of Transgender patients, visitors, and staff further enhancing the experience.
As part of the NYEE relocation project, executive offices, large Education Room and associated support staff spaces will be relocated to the renovated spaces in the basement, first and third floor of the bank building. The large Educational Room will be located on the south side of the first floor. Large south-facing windows will allow plenty of natural light into the education room. The high floor-to-floor height allows for a custom folding wood ceiling with direct street views. The third-floor houses ultra compact executive private offices, a conference room, and the Hospital President's office.
