Battery Park City Community Center is on target to earn a Platinum LEED certification – the highest level certification for Green construction. The Buddhist Retreat will include five new wood-frame buildings, including five courtyard buildings with linked ‘infinity’ shaped diagrams.
Infinity Chapel will feature a unique exposition of glass surfaces and light, as well as wood insertions from Miya Shoji, wood artisans. Infinity Chapel is located at 171 MacDougal Street in Lower Manhattan. Visitors will be welcome to stop by, after March 15, 2010.
We look forward to seeing friends and colleagues at the openings of all three buildings!
