Parking lot and security checkpoint in Manhattan, New York
The
World Trade Center Vehicle Security Center and Tour Bus Parking Facility
, or simply the
Vehicular Security Center
(
VSC
), is a
secure complex
for truck delivery and
underground parking
at the
World Trade Center
in
Manhattan
,
New York City
.
[2]
[3]
The entrance to the VSC is located at street-level along the southern edge of the
National September 11 Memorial & Museum
on
Liberty Street
. The VSC is connected via tunnels that feed the entire 16-acre (65,000 m
2
) WTC complex, linking the security checkpoint at its entrance with the buildings and services at the complex requiring vehicular services. Underground garages provide parking for tenants, visitors, and tour buses.
[4]
Liberty Park
, an elevated 1-acre (4,000 m
2
) park, is on the roof of the VSC.
[5]
St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church
, which was destroyed during the
September 11 attacks
, was rebuilt in Liberty Park above the VSC.

In 2010 a ship from the eighteenth century was found during excavation work at the site. The ship, believed to be a Hudson River
sloop
, was found just south of where the Twin Towers used to stand, about 20 feet (6.1 m) below the surface.
[8]
Five World Trade Center
is planned to be built adjacent to the southern edge of the VSC and Liberty Park, on the site of the former
Deutsche Bank Building
.
[9]
It was approved in February 2021.
