- 4. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION THE NEW JERSEY RECYCLING MUSEUM and Social Justice Learning to recycle is an educational process that needs to be introduced at an early age. Our museum encourages behavioral change by having an impact on our physical environment and our personal, social and cultural beliefs and norms. We want to engage the children and interest them in recycling by offering encouragement, feedback and motivation for real change. Workshops are offered daily, relating to recycling in their homes and at school. The building itself addresses climate change, and has an impact on reducing energy consumption through its use of green principles in its’ design.
- 5. Proposed New JerseyRecycling Museum SPACE ANALYSIS SQUARE FOOTAGE: 76’- 8” x 151’- 8” = (11,627 sq. ft.) EXISTING CONDITIONS: This space is a (11,627 sq. ft.) converted warehouse located in a residential neighborhood, at the end of a dead end street on Jersey City’s waterfront. There are no existing interior walls. The exterior walls are one foot (1’0”) thick. There are two 24” x 24” columns located 50’-10” from north and south facing exterior walls. Four 24” x 12” interior fixed columns are located on the east and west walls at 50’10” from north and south facing exterior walls. The ceiling height is 35’-0”. The building is surrounded by undisturbed indigenous vegetation and river rock. Parking is pre-existing, and located on the west side of the building. CLIENT REQUIREMENTS: Entrance must be located on the “parking side” (west side) of the building. No cantilevers or balconies may be added to the building. Restrooms must be located on both first and second floors and must be stacked for efficiency. An outdoor cafe with seating and landscaping may be added to the east side ground level, overlooking the Hudson River. Additional floors or a mezzanine may be added to cover one half of the existing space. FOCAL POINTS: A large dinosaur in center of circulation area; the Hudson River, with views of New York City and the Statue of Liberty. NATURAL TRAFFIC FLOW: Foot traffic flows from main entrance into first floor circulation area ORIENTATION: East and south sides of the building overlook the Hudson River. The entrance is located on the west side of the building and proceeds from the parking area. PROS: There are views of the Hudson River, Statue of Liberty, midtown and downtown New York City on the East side of the building. CONS: Despite the spectacular views, the client will only allow 75 linear feet of windows (approximately 1/6th of the perimeter) to be added to the building. No skylights are allowed. This defeats the principles of green building by allowing for very little natural daylighting of the interior space.
