The primary architectural feature of the new platinum LEED-rated Battery Park City Community Center is a 500-foot long glass ‘Wall of Light’ situated at the base of two new residential towers in Battery Park City’s North Neighborhood immediately north of Ground Zero. The wall will feature an installation of LED lights designed by hanrahanMeyers architects with Tillotson Design Associates, illuminating a sound composition by New York composer Michael Schumacher. The wall is a public promenade and demonstration of the passive energy systems fueling the new Community Center. Facing inside the center, the wall unifies a diverse program of swimming pools, a gymnasium, theater, classrooms, and recreation and dance spaces, while bringing natural light into all of the primary spaces. The surrounding landscape will be designed by SCAPE Landscape Architecture, PLLC. It is scheduled to be completed by 2010.
