The New York Botanical Garden Parking Garage
PROJECT DETAILS
Just a short walk from the Garden gate and the Botanical Garden Metro-North Station, this New York Botanical Garden Parking Garage project included new construction of a 303,000-square-foot parking structure, seven stories high with an 825-parking space capacity. In order to meet estimated future needs and preserve acres of historic landscape within the Garden, the parking garage at the Peter Jay Sharp Building serves the public as well as Garden visitors. Ennead Architects designed an architecturally stunning façade that creates a vertical garden on each of the four sides of the parking structure.
LEED Silver
The building is registered with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to attain LEED Silver certification. Green elements on the project include a greenscreen system to enclose the parking garage in vines, architectural precast “V” sections on the facade, and ribbed precast panels at the base of the stair towers.
