The  Federal Reserve  Bank  of  New  York  is  an operations  center  in  East  Rutherford, New  Jersey.  SRFA  worked  closely  with  the project  architects  to  develop  an  art program  that  responded  to  the monumentality  of  the  architecture  of  the facility,  and  the  need  to  provide  a  humanizing  element  for  staff.  SRFA commissioned  8  site-specific  artworks  for  the  Operations  Center’s  major  public  spaces  and  three-story  atrium.  SRFA  was  responsible  for  the  research  and  presentation  of  artists’  work  and  monitoring  all  aspects  of  fabrication  through  installation.  For  the  private  office  spaces  and  conference  rooms,  historical  and  contemporary  works  on  paper  and  photographs  were  acquired.
