This LEED Platinum facility vertically organizes Battery Park City Parks Conservancy’s extensive maintenance activities in the first four floors of a high-rise residential building.

The facility is visually integrated into the larger development through a high-performance, terra-cotta and aluminum curtain wall. The double-wall exterior envelope insulates the space in the summer, captures solar energy for heat in the winter, and controls air circulation patterns while also functioning as a naturally-ventilated circulation spine.

Battery Park City Parks Conservancy Maintenance Facility provides offices for a staff of over 100, classrooms for community workshops, and composting for the entire park. The space accommodates the trucks and bicycles used by the maintenance staff. High density storage is used for long and mid-term supplies and equipment required for park upkeep.
