Mercy Corps today officially unveiled its Action Center to End World Hunger, a $5.4 million, 4,000-square-foot interactive education facility in Battery Park City that should open up this fall. Designed by Edwin Schlossberg’s ESI Design, the Center will seek a LEED Platinum rating from USGBC. The Battery Park City Authority chose Mercy in the wake of September 11 to create a Downtown cultural space that would raise local awareness about global issues; Mercy is a provider of international relief and development funding that earned a 2007 Nobel Peace Prize nomination.
