Welcome to Trinity Commons, a warm and inviting space that will soon offer high-quality programs for residents and visitors of all ages and backgrounds.
Soaring 27 floors high, 76 Trinity Place houses the headquarters of Trinity Church Wall Street and offers community space, known as Trinity Commons, on floors 1-5.
Trinity Commons offers a variety of spaces to meet the needs of our community as well as stunning views of Trinity Church.
Trinity Commons will host a variety of activities and events, including art workshops, movie nights, fitness classes, book talks, family game nights, pick-up basketball, academic support for youth, cooking classes, and more.
On the Mezzanine level, Trinity Commons has several bright and creative spaces designed with children, ages 12 and under, in mind.
Trinity Church Wall Street is an active Episcopal Parish that has been an integral part of New York City’s history for more than 300 years. Trinity Commons is nestled behind the church at 76 Trinity Place.
Trinity Commons will host classes and other activities for children and families. In the future, we will also collaborate with partners for programs in Trinity Common's many spaces.
Art and dance studios are on the fourth floor, along with the gym and a fitness studio. We plan to have artists-in-residence and host art exhibits in the lobby that reinforce Trinity's core values and strategic mission areas.
The transparent windows of Trinity Commons encourage visual connections between its interiors and exteriors, displaying the church’s mission of inclusivity through architectural design.
The gym and fitness studio are on the fourth floor. Local community partners and schools will offer soccer practice, pick-up basketball, and other sports and recreational events here.
As a spiritual extension of the church, Trinity Commons is a resource for the community—a safe, welcoming space with high-quality programs for residents and visitors of all ages and backgrounds.
In the words of famed architect César Pelli, Trinity Commons was "designed to be a backdrop to the church—contemporary, exciting, forward-looking and also tied to its past."
Parish Hall, the epicenter of Trinity Commons on the second floor, can accommodate up to 300 people and was styled to tie in the beautiful view of Trinity Church outside. Sunday services, celebrations, lunches, and other gatherings will be hosted here.
Trinity Church was once the tallest building in New York City. When construction was completed in 1846, the steeple reached 281 feet. Now it is surrounded by many other strikingly tall buildings, such as 76 Trinity Place, which tops out at 445 feet.
Trinity Church Wall Street seeks to serve and heal the world by building neighborhoods that live Gospel truths, generations of faithful leaders, and sustainable communities.
This space has beautiful stained-glass windows and a terrace for community gatherings like Sunday Suppers.
Whimsical circular windows look into the tots room for younger children on the Mezzanine level. This bright and creative space is designed with children (and curious parents) in mind.
Guided by our core values: faith, integrity, inclusiveness, compassion, social justice, and stewardship, Trinity Church's members come from New York City and the surrounding areas to form a racially, ethnically, and economically diverse community.
The rehearsal studio, the art studio, and the art workshop are on the fourth floor. Trinity's Movement Choir will rehearse here, and we plan to have artists-in-residence and art exhibits in the lobby.

Community Conversation
Trinity Church Wall Street invited parishioners, staff, Trinity partners, and members of the Lower Manhattan community to take part in a community conversation about the mission of Trinity and its impact on a new parish building at 76 Trinity Place. The results of that process and the design for 76 Trinity Place were unveiled on October 22, 2016. Learn more about these charettes.
