Jerome L. Greene Science Center New York, New York Jaros, Baum & Bolles New York, New York The nine-story, 450,000-square-foot facility is the largest academic science building in New York City and a paragon for noise reduction, light and temperature control. A groundbreaking double-skin, all-glass curtain wall system diminishes noise from an adjacent elevated subway line-imperative for a neuroscience research facility. The double-skin curtain wall also features various glass compositions to meet exacting standards for light and temperature control, and connects with a unique mechanical ventilation system that repurposes exhaust air from the laboratory spaces, passing it between the layers of the glass curtain wall to keep the facility cool in summer and warm in winter.
