David Rockefeller Creative Arts Center
OVERVIEW
Housed within the historic Orangerie, the David Rockefeller Creative Arts Center is a net-zero, LEED Platinum-certified facility with a multipurpose performance space, gallery, and flexible studio for artists and community programs. Through the adaptive reuse of the 8,000 SF Beaux-Arts Orangerie, the dormant building was renovated and expanded to create a cultural hub on the 217-acre Rockefeller Estate. Langan provided surveys of the project area and greater estate, subsurface investigations to support the renovation, photovoltaic field foundation design, geothermal well field design, site plan approval drawings, stormwater management, and the rain garden design.
