Queens Botanical Garden Visitor & Administration Center
43-50, Main Street, Queens, Queens County, NY, United States
The Queens Botanical Garden is a nexus of botanical and cultural exploration for one of the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in the United States, Queens County. The Visitor & Administration Center is a built extension of the Garden’s mission: to demonstrate environmental stewardship while celebrating the cultural connections between people and plants. To that end, the Visitors’ Center is LEED Platinum certified – the first public building in New York City to achieve this rating. From the inception of the project, principles of sustainability led the design process. Water, a natural element significant to all cultures, is re-introduced throughout the site, unifying building and landscape. The Center is composed of three interconnected spaces: a forecourt and dramatic roof canopy, a central reception and administration building clad in wood and glass, and an auditorium space tucked into the landscape itself, sheltered by a sloping green roof. Additional sustainable elements include solar panels, a geothermal system, graywater and stormwater management systems and extensive use of recycled and renewable materials.
