Construction Update: Solar One Environmental Education Center
Construction is nearing completion on the Solar One Environmental Education Center at Stuyvesant Cove Park, part of the East Side Coastal Resiliency Project. Situated at the northern end of the park, the BIG designed two-story structure will house educational programming for Solar One, a leading sustainable energy non-profit. The building will house afterschool and summer camp programs, classroom space, presentation and lecture space, and a rentable hosting site for indoor community events, celebrations, workshops, and other opportunities. One major sustainable feature of the project will be the off-the-grid solar electricity generation from the rooftop 38kW solar array and battery storage.
