NYFE Summary
An indoor garden occupies the center of this office building. Trees, vines and shrubs grow beside a reflecting pool. The garden includes a sensory area with plants visitors can touch, braille signs and audio interpretation.
A public gallery presents art connected with questions of justice and dignity. The building’s renewal in 2018 improved access while retaining its central garden. A wheelchair-accessible path reaches much of the planted area by a passenger lift.
