Bellevue Men’s Shelter CPSD

A clean, safe, durable, and flexible environment, enlivened by meaningful and productive programming and services.

The "New 30th: Reimagining Shelter" project aims to overhaul the Bellevue Men’s Shelter in New York City through extensive analysis and stakeholder consultations, focusing on infrastructure upgrades, layout efficiency, and enhanced services. Aligning with the city's plan to combat homelessness, the project incorporates sustainability measures and a new set of standards for progressive shelter design.

A complete transformation of the physical space at Bellevue Men's Shelter to provide a clean, safe and livable environment enlivened by meaningful and productive programming, strengthened through positive links to the surrounding community.

The new 30th design recommendations present an updated paradigm for homeless shelter, centered on the following Goals and Values.

Vision for the Bellevue Men's Shelter West Court public space

The West Court on 30th street provides a flexible venue for public use. A variety of seating, including a shared table, will make the space a popular lunch spot for workers in the neighborhood, and the perimeter and overhead lighting will create a safe, intimate, and festive evening atmosphere.

The Green Roof at Bellevue Men's Shelter CPSD will provide another opportunity for residents to connect with nature as well as other residents.

A renovated auditorium will restore the historic use and grandeur.

The site is currently under-utilized with extensive vacant areas. The New 30th will increase usable space to every division, and also dramatically increase area for shelter services, shelter facilities, and operations. Importantly, a significant amount of unused area will also be allocated to community use. Additionally, all existing divisions are increased in size.

Connecting with the staff, the homeless, and community and stakeholders, Marvel conducted on-site outreach and tours, engaged in staff and homeless client interviews, visited relevant specialists and agencies, and performed community workshops.

Spaces are Underutilized: The existing building is the largest Men's shelter in NYC, serving both as a shelter as well as an intake center. The building suffers from deferred maintenance as well as a lingering institutional quality due to its storied past.
