Other Details  


"Designed to provide water to South Central Connecticut, the Whitney Water Purification Facility also features a public park and educational facility. The water purification occurs beneath the park (a 30,000 sq ft green roof), while the operational programs are housed in a 360-foot long stainless steel building that forms a reflective line in the landscape.

"Like an inverted drop of water, the building's shape creates a curvilinear interior space that opens onto expansive views of the surrounding landscape."
