Brooklyn Botanical Garden - New Visitor Center Opening May 16, 2012

The new visitor center at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden will open on May 16, 2012.

Seamlessly melding architecture and landscape, BBG's new Visitor Center is a model of energy-efficient design, including earth-sheltered construction, a geoexchange system for heating and cooling, a living roof, and fritted-glass walls. Surrounding the building is a new garden filled with native plantings and water-capturing beds.
