Last week, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden unveiled a final set of plans for a new Visitor Center pavilion designed by architects Weiss/Manfredi to pursue LEED Gold certification from USGBC. The building would join the LEED Platinum-certified Queens Botanical Garden Visitor's Center, which was the first LEED Platinum-certified building anywhere in New York City. When completed, the 22,000-square-foot Visitor Center will be the first new structure at the Botanic Garden in over 20 years. Funtionally, the pavilion will include an orientation room for visitors, a shop, event space, restrooms, and a cafe.
