connecticut power plant to be repurposed by bjarke ingels group (BIG) with park by SCAPE
Briefly

Manresa Island's transformation is a bold venture to convert a former coal-fired power plant site into a vibrant public park, promoting ecological awareness and community.
This project will preserve and repurpose existing structures like the boiler building and turbine hall, converting them into spaces for recreation, education, and events.
Through revitalizing the university's coastal heritage and enhancing the natural landscape, the project aims to establish a strong connection between the community and the waterfront.
The adaptive reuse initiative focuses on reimagining key components of the power plant—turning them into facilities that support both ecological studies and public recreation.
