Experience:

Bank of America Tower at One Bryant Park

Completed in 2009, the Bank of America Tower is arguably the country’s most environmentally advanced high-rise office building, and the first to strive for the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum designation. At 2.2 million square feet, the project incorporates innovative, high-performance technologies that use dramatically less energy, consume less potable water, and provide a healthy and productive environment for employees. Working in collaboration the building ownership and a team of talented consultants, contractors and engineers, Bob Fox and Rick Cook combined their experience to design the Bank of America Tower. Bill Browning, working with a team from Rocky Mountain Institute, led a design charrette during the project’s early phases, helping to ensure a highly integrated, whole-systems approach.

*Work performed by Bill Browning in affiliation with both the Rocky Mountain Institute and Terrapin. Detailed Terrapin Case Studies are available in the Workroom, our private extranet full of detailed information and resources to help you make an informed decision.
