This is Greene Space performance hall in Manhattan. WNYC received LEED Gold Commercial Interiors honors for The Jerome L. Greene Space. This space was built to allow the public to be a regular part of the live taping of WNYC’s shows, and it keeps sustainability in mind from the ground up. The Greene Space is a special case for LEED.  It’s a public place that enriches the community as well as their connection to the earth

This space will host music concerts, literary readings, art exhibits, political debates, town hall meetings, and other public events. The architects installed LED theatrical lighting, a bamboo stage, made use of natural light with an open window plan. They also installed a climate control system that is over 53% more efficient than code. The theater seats 125 people. Most events broadcast live on the internet, so millions more watch for free.
