Asymptote completed the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Advanced Trading Floor in 1999. The project is a state-of-the-art command center that came about as a result of the NYSE’s need to update its facilities and accommodate the virtual-exchange model and interface. The command center is also a veritable theater of operations: it can serve as the backdrop to media events staged from the floor of the NYSE and is also a means to showcase the exchange’s technological advances and capabilities.
