M1/2/5 Garage
Tour the Department of Sanitation’s multi-story M125 Garage – home of the 150+ vehicles and DSNY staff that serve nearly 300,000 residents across three Manhattan community districts. The LEED Gold certified facility integrates the technical functional requirements of heavy vehicle parking with architectural design, sustainability, and a sensitivity to the urban context. Take a drive up the ramps to the operating vehicular floors for a behind-the-scenes look into this critical component of the City’s waste and recycling infrastructure; look out through the double-skin façade of operable perforated fins; and follow the path of recycled rainwater from the 1.5 acre green roof to its point of reuse in truck washdown!
