Title 42 was a COVID-19 pandemic-era health measure that allowed the US to quickly turn back migrants at the US-Mexico border for the past three years. Hizzoner said the city has to be ready for an even greater wave of migrants now that the federal Title 42 emergency order has been lifted. The Roosevelt Hotel will become the city’s main “asylum seeker arrival center.” Matthew McDermott Other asylum seekers already under the city’s care will also have access to the arrival center, according to the mayor’s press released late Saturday.īeginning later this week, the Roosevelt Hotel will open up 175 rooms for children and families, until it is scaled to approximately 850 rooms, the release said.Īn additional 100 to 150 rooms will be reserved for migrants before transitioning to other locations. Migrants at the center will have access to legal, medical and reconnection services, and can also be placed in a shelter or humanitarian relief center if needed. The iconic hotel, located at 45 East 45th Street near Grand Central terminal, has been closed for nearly three years.Īdams described the new asylum seeker arrival center as the first of its kind in the five boroughs, joining eight other Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers. The 1,000-room Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown will become the city’s main “asylum seeker arrival center” and shelter for a wave of new migrants, Mayor Eric Adams announced Saturday - confirming a Post report from last week.

The icons I designed were used by Skype across their entire suite of products for over a decade - until it was unified into Microsoft’s UI style. A frustrating but important part of the process was to construct an icon (as above) then tweak it to feel harmonious with the entire set. Icons needed to work well individually and as part of a set, whilst also holding onto their unique Skype style. This meant that each icon needed to follow a very strict formula and construction guide to how it was drawn. To ensure that the entire set scaled down on hand-held devices as well as up to HD TVs (and beyond) we enlisted the help of a mathematician who I worked with to find a rate of curve, grid and angles that could scale without compromising the construction of the shapes. Similarly the throwback of a webcam was too abstract for some people. Much like the infamous floppy disk to represent ‘Save’ - a rotary phone is understood by older audiences, but not by younger ones. Since the product is used by audiences of all ages and demographics spanning unique cultures - our iconography needed to be recognisable by all. An exciting part of the design process at Skype was the research and testing.
