The New York City AIDS Memorial’s board of directors unveiled the final design for the project at an event on Wednesday evening in Manhattan.

Designed by Studio a+i, a Brooklyn-based architecture firm, the memorial will feature an 18-foot steel canopy that will serve as a gateway to the new St. Vincent’s Hospital Park at the intersection of West 12th Street and Greenwich Avenue in the West Village. It will enclose a granite fountain and benches, as well as a paved surface carved with texts chosen by a team of historians, artists, community members, and activists led by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright Tony Kushner.
