The Design Workshop at Parsons partnered with the The Trust for Governors Island in lower Manhattan. TGI is a community organization whose mission is to transform Governors Island into a vibrant resource for New York City, making the Island a destination with extraordinary public open space, as well as educational, not-for-profit, and commercial facilities. The Design-Build Studio was tasked with building a single story freestanding structure for events, workshops and classes. The space will serve the many non profits doing work on the island, as well as the Trust for Governors Island.
