The wall is a public promenade and demonstration of the passive energy systems fueling the new Community Center. Facing inside the center, the wall unifies a diverse program of swimming pools, a gymnasium, theater, classrooms, and recreation and dance spaces, while bringing natural light into all of the primary spaces.
