Navy Yard's Perry Building to Feature Renewable Energy Pilot Program

Thu

The Brooklyn Navy Yard's Perry Building will be home to art restoration firm SurroundArt once it opens up this summer. Interiors for the 89,000-square-foot space, which is aiming for a LEED Silver under USGBC's Core and Shell program, were designed by Steven Kratchman Architect, while the exterior of the building is being executed by Stantec. (Check out our previous posts on the Perry Building for more details on both the project and SurroundArt.) Last week, though, Stantec announced some details on the project's renewable energy features, which will include a photovoltaic and wind power pilot program. The firm is partnering with National Grid Energy Services in order to install a number of solar panels and wind turbines on the Perry Building's roof. The system will- at least initially- serve just the Perry Building and be tied to its main electrical equipment.

Last fall, SurroundArt, which stores and restores works of art, as well as supplies back-end support for high-end art exhibitions, signed a lease for 89,000 square feet of space at the Navy Yard's LEED-CS Silver Perry Building, designed by Vollmer Associates, which is currently under construction. The project is touting itself as the first industrial building in the country to house multiple tenants and achieve a LEED Silver rating. SurroundArt already occupies 71,000 square feet at the Navy Yard and will also take 7,000 square feet of space in the Paymaster Building, which stands adjacent to the Perry. The Paymaster is where Navy Yard workers used to pick up their paychecks, and the Navy Yard Development Corporation is refurbishing its historic exterior while SurroundArt performs a gut renovation.
