Join us for a case study of Battery Park City Parks Conservancy's new high performance maintenance facility, exploring the integrated design, construction and operation the facility's heating, cooling and ventilating systems.

The Conservancy maintains 36 acres of open space at the southern tip of Manhattan. In most parts of the country landscape maintenance service spaces are located outdoors; however, Manhattan’s real estate pressures led BPCA to develop a four story design set in the base of a residential tower.

This facility is the only project Battery Park City will build for its own use and was designed to serve as an example of sustainable design integration. In addition to complying with Battery Park City’s sustainable guidelines, the project is seeking platinum certification under LEED-CI.
