The 1999 final design was produced by Ronald Evitts and Fred Schwartz at Schwartz Architects (successor to Anderson/Schwartz Architects), who succeeded Whitehall Architectural Design/Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates as Architect on the project. This design is essentially the same as the previous two, with the significant exception of the waterfront façade, now crowned with a publicly accessible roof-top viewing deck and photovoltaic panel canopy (for more information click here), and clad with a stainless steel corrugated siding capped by a floor of glass curtain wall. Other modifications include a simple, rectangular mullion pattern on the glass facades and the extension of the sloped roof over the Waiting Room and Exiting Concourses.

Approvals from dozens of city agencies, departments, community boards and utilities were attained, including from NYC Departments of Transportation, Environmental Protection, City Planning, Economic Development, Parks and Recreation, Cultural Affairs; NYC Office of Management and Budget; NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission; NYC Art Commission; NYS Department of Environmental Conservation; Staten Island Ferry Riders Committee; Staten Island Borough Board; Manhattan Community Board No. 1; NYC Transit, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
