Layout

The station provides access to Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts just to the south, with Alice Tully Hall just to the west. All of the Lincoln Center venues are connected by underground concourses near the southern end of the station. The park upstairs at the south end is named for the poet Dante Alighieri, whose statue is found there. Robert Merrill Park is nearby, at the north end of Lincoln Square. A number of schools are nearby as well, including the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts and some small schools located in the former Martin Luther King, Jr. High School building, and there have been reports that some high school students traveling by subway interact aggressively with other subway passengers.

The walls at the platform level were renovated in 2004 and are decorated with mosaics designed by New York artist Nancy Spero. Elevators to street level provide ADA-accessibility. There is also a crossunder between the uptown and downtown side platforms.
