Updated Renderings Showcase SOM’s $700 Million New York Climate Exchange on Governors Island
Updated renderings have been revealed for the New York Climate Exchange, an environmental research facility and climate solutions center planned for Governors Island in New York Harbor. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in collaboration with MNLA, Buro Happold, and Langan Engineering, the $700 million project will consist of a 400,000-square-foot research and education hub anchored by Stony Brook University. The complex’s two all-electric buildings will be connected by a distinctive photovoltaic canopy and will use sustainable mass timber as their primary structural material. The development site is generally bound by Craig Road South along the waterfront, the Oval green lawn and West Way to the west, and several historical landmark buildings to the north above Division Road.
