Rockefeller III, built Lincoln Center as part of the “Lincoln Square Renewal Project” during Robert Moses’s program of New York’s urban renewal in the 1950s and 1960s.“Rockefeller Philanthropy: Lincoln Center” (PDF format). Respected architects were contracted to design the major buildings on the site.Rockefeller was appointed as the Lincoln Center’s inaugural president in 1956, and once he resigned, became its chairman in 1961.WEB,www.aboutlincolncenter.org/about/history/archive-1960s, Archive 1960s {{!, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts|website=www.aboutlincolncenter.org|access-date=September 27, 2019}} He is credited with raising more than half of the $184.5 million in private funds needed to build the complex, including drawing from his own funds; the Rockefeller Brothers Fund also contributed to the project. Numerous architects were hired to build different parts of the center (see {{section link||Architects}}). The center’s first three buildings, David Geffen Hall (formerly Avery Fisher Hall, originally named Philharmonic Hall), David H. Koch Theater (formerly the New York State Theater), and the Metropolitan Opera House were opened in 1962, 1964, and 1966, respectively.It is unclear whether the center was named as a tribute to U.S. President Abraham Lincoln or for its location in the Lincoln Square Neighborhood.BOOK, Roberts, Sam, A History of New York in 101 Objects, Simon and Schuster, 2016, 978-1-4767-2877-3, New York, 208, en, The name was bestowed on the area in 1906 by the New York City Board of Aldermen, but records give no reason for choosing that name.Gray, Christopher (October 2, 2005). “Streetscapes: Readers’ Questions; The Story of a Name, the Tale of a Co-op”. The New York Times. Retrieved May 18, 2012. There has long been speculation that the name came from a local landowner, because the square was previously named Lincoln Square. However, property records from the New York Municipal Archives from that time have no record of a Lincoln surname; they only list the names Johannes van Bruch, Thomas Hall, Stephen De Lancey, James De Lancey, James De Lancey Jr. and John Somerindyck.NEWS,cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/11/50-years-in-lincoln-centers-name-is-still-a-mystery/, 50 Years In, Lincoln Center’s Name Is Still a Mystery, Collins, Glenn, May 11, 2009, The New York Times, September 27, 2019, One speculation is that references to President Lincoln were omitted from the records because the mayor in 1906 was George B. McClellan Jr., son of General George B. McClellan, who was general-in-chief of the Union Army early in the American Civil War and a bitter rival of Lincoln’s.NEWS, 50 Years In, Center’s Name Is Still a Mystery, Collins, Glenn, May 11, 2009, The New York Times,cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/11/50-years-in-lincoln-centers-name-is-still-a-mystery/, November 15, 2010,

Construction milestones

In 1955, the first city institution to commit to be part of the Lincoln Square Renewal Project, an effort to revitalize the city’s west side with a new performing arts complex that would become the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, was the Fordham Law School of Fordham University.WEB,www.fordham.edu/info/20880/about/3267/history, History, L, Ekins Dianna, www.fordham.edu, en, September 27, 2019, In 1961, Fordham Law School was the first building to open as part of the renewal project, and in 1968, Fordham College at Lincoln Center welcomed its first students.The development of the condominium at 3 Lincoln Center,Goldberger, Paul (July 28, 1991). “Architecture View”. The New York Times. completed in 1991, designed by Lee Jablin of Harman Jablin Architects, made possible the expansion of The Juilliard School and the School of American Ballet.Gill, Brendan (August 19, 1991). “The Skyline”. The New Yorker. pp. 57–60.Bosco, Pearl (November 1989). “Three Lincoln Center”. Institute for Urban Design. Project Monograph. Vol. 2, No. 4.The center’s cultural institutions also have since made use of facilities located away from the main campus. In 2004, the center expanded through the addition of Jazz at Lincoln Center’s newly built facilities, the Frederick P. Rose Hall, at the new Time Warner Center, located a few blocks to the south. In March 2006, the center launched construction on a major redevelopment plan that modernized, renovated, and opened up its campus. Redevelopment was completed in 2012 with the completion of the President’s Bridge over West 65th Street.Pogrebin, Robin. (October 1, 2012) “New Bridge at Lincoln Center to Open Monday”. The New York Times Retrieved May 23, 2014.

Renovations

When first announced in 1999, Lincoln Center’s campus-wide redevelopment was to cost $1.5 billion over 10 years and radically transform the campus.NEWS, Robin, Pogrebin, May 8, 2003,www.nytimes.com/2003/05/08/arts/lincoln-center-proceeds-modestly.html, Lincoln Center Proceeds, Modestly, The New York Times, The center management held an architectural competition, won by the British architect Norman Foster in 2005, but did not approve a full scale redesign until 2012, in part because of the need to raise $300 million in construction costs and the New York Philharmonic’s fear that it might lose audiences and revenue while it was displaced.Pogrebin, Robin (November 28, 2012), “Avery Fisher Hall to Be Renovated”. The New York Times.Polsky, Sarah. (November 29, 2012) “Avery Fisher Hall Will Finally Get Its Long-Delayed Makeover” Curbed NY Among the architects that have been involved were Frank Gehry; Cooper, Robertson & Partners; Skidmore, Owings & Merrill; Beyer Blinder Belle; Fox & Fowle; Olin Partnership; and Diller & Scofidio.Pogrebin, Robin. (June 19, 2003), “Costs and Approach Disputed in Lincoln Center Redevelopment”. The New York Times.In March 2006, the center launched the 65th Street Project – part of a major redevelopment plan continuing through the fall of 2012 – to create a new pedestrian promenade designed to improve accessibility and the aesthetics of that area of the campus. Additionally, Alice Tully Hall was modernized and reopened to critical and popular acclaim in 2009 and Film at Lincoln Center expanded with the new Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center. Topped by a sloping lawn roof, the film center is part of a new pavilion that also houses a destination restaurant named Lincoln, as well as offices. Subsequent projects were added which addressed improvements to the main plazas and Columbus Avenue Grand Stairs. Under the direction of the Lincoln Center Development Project, Diller Scofidio + Renfro in association with FXFOWLE Architects and Beyer Blinder Belle Architects provided the design services. Additionally, Turner Construction Company and RCDolner, LLCWEB,www.rcdolner.com, RCDolner Construction, Rcdolner.com, May 11, 2012, May 31, 2017, were the construction managers for the projects.NEWS, On 65th Street, Glimpsing Lincoln Center’s Future, Robin, Pogrebin, Robin Pogrebin,www.nytimes.com/2006/08/17/arts/design/17linc.html, The New York Times, August 17, 2006, July 31, 2010, “Transforming Lincoln Center” on Lincoln Center website {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130528120042www.lincolncenter.org/load_screen.asp?screen=transforming |date=May 28, 2013 }} Another component to redevelopment was the addition of the David Rubenstein Atrium designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects, a visitors’ center and a gateway to the center that offers free performances, day-of-discount tickets, food, and free Wi-Fi.{{Lincoln Center map}}
