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!

WaveLine, a 6,000 sqaure-foot pavilion designed by hanrahan Meyers architects (hMa) of New York, is a steel and masonry building of subtle but powerful vision, with modest dimensions. The building is located in Queens, New York, and was commissioned by the New York City Housing Authority. WaveLine does not try to blend in with its neighbors – twenty-story public housing towers built during the 1950’s, but instead uses the contrast of its contemporary materials and graceful form to define a new place for performance and sport within an existing public housing complex. hMa worked closely with sound and environmental consultants to design the building to reflect wave formations. The building has a 20-foot high ceiling, and was designed with excellent acoustics so that it can be used for performance as well as sport.

The pavilion is 6,000 square feet, and the adjacent community center is 20,000 square feet. WaveLine finished construction in June 2007, and is expected to officially open by November 2007.
