Cornell and Stanford Reveal Energy Sustainability Plans For Proposed NYC Applied Sciences & Engineering School Roosevelt Island Campus - Rendering Of Proposed Cornell Campus Too, But Where Is The Open Public Space?

According to this October 24 NY Times article:

If Cornell University were to win the city’s competition to build a new science graduate school, it would install on Roosevelt Island almost four acres of solar panels, 500 geothermal wells, and buildings with the rare distinction of generating as much power as they use

Stanford University’s proposal for the island calls for minimizing energy use, creating a marsh to filter water, and recycling water from storm runoff and sinks, and possibly from toilets as well....

... Both plans would also provide ample open space to the public and gardens for cultivation....
Below is an artist's rendering of proposed Cornell Roosevelt Island campus.


Click here for the entire NY Times article. Based upon this rendering of the Cornell proposal, it is difficult to see where the "ample open space to the public" would be located.

Stanford's President John Hennessey discussed some of his University's plans for a sustainable and environmentally friendly Roosevelt Island campus in this interview (video of sustainability remarks at 6 minute 10 second mark) I conducted with him last week. More information on the proposed NYC Applied Sciences & Engineering School available at these previous posts.

UPDATE 6 PM - Curbed has more renderings of Cornell's proposed Roosevelt Island campus via Skidmore, Owings, Merrill architecture firm.

What has been specified about providing parking for faculty and students. If it is a repeat of what RIOC agreed for the school on Main Street it looks like another bottle neck for access to the south
