195 Broadway, a.k.a. The Telephone/Telegraph/Western Union Building, was the longtime HQ of AT&T and Western Union. It occupies the entire western side of Broadway from Dey to Fulton.
Fun Facts:
- 195 Broadway was the site of one end of the first transcontinental telephone call made by Alexander Graham Bell in 1915, the first intercity Picturephone call, and the first transatlantic telephone call.
- There once was a statue called the “Spirit of Communication” in the lobby.
Located in the heart of the Financial District, our building is incredibly accessible and we hope your commute is a breeze. The Fulton St. and WTC Cortlandt stations are just a stone’s throw away! These two stations serve the following lines: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, E, N, R,W, J, Z and PATH.

- Access & Reception
- Please enter the building off of Dey St. When you enter the Dey St. lobby you will pass by a Building Reception/Security desk where you must scan your keycard for entry to the elevators.
- The building is accessible 24/7.
- Elevators & Floor 26 Access & Reception
- All elevators to the left of the security desk access the 26th floor. Pay attention to signage.
- The 26th Floor of 195 Broadway is 42,000 sq. ft. We have the entire floor! There are two entrances into the space; please use the main entry to the left near Reception for entry. You may exit through either door. Your building key card (or your Verkada Pass Digital Keycard app) allows you access into the Orchestra space on the 26th floor 24/7.
- Orchestra Reception will be staffed from 9am-6pm. There is no need to notify facilities if you need to access the space during off-hours. If you need to access the Orchestra space before or after-hours or on weekends and cannot for whatever reason, ring the doorbell to alert Donni and Alexia. Once your identity is verified they can let you into the space via remote unlock.
- For lost or stolen keycards, immediately upon realizing please email facilities@orchestraco.com which will trigger an urgent ticket for support. This is a security threat that needs to be taken care of promptly.
- Everyone will have access to a personal workstation each in-office day you’re assigned, but there are also 200+ communal spaces to post up at as well.
- Moving 350+ staff into a shared space is a big transition, and while we've planned carefully to minimize disruptions, some adjustments will be needed along the way. We’re committed to making this space work for everyone and welcome your feedback as we settle in. Over the next few months, we’ll reassess seating and other needs, making updates based on what we learn together.
- Everyone’s current in-office schedule is as follows:
- Each company will have a designated “neighborhood” where you will book your desk each in-office day via Robin (instructions included later on this site).
- Each desk will have drawers where you can store your personal belongings for the day, and we will also have lockers in case you need to store belongings overnight (72 to start, arriving shortly after move-in).
- Want to work from the office on an unassigned day? You’re welcome to! An iPad at reception will show available spaces day-of. Otherwise, feel free to use the café, library, or lounges anytime—we have over 200 open seats!
Office Areas
- Communal seating for all Orchestra team members. Projector capabilities.
- Between the Team Lounge and the Café, these spaces seat a minimum of 80.
