Thomas Heatherwick’s maligned will reopen with new suicide prevention measures.
The maligned Thomas Heatherwick–designed Vessel is reopening to the public with new restrictions intended to prevent suicides after three young adults took their own lives there over the past year. One of the signature attractions of the massive Hudson Yards development, the Vessel closed off public access in January after a 21-year-old man wanted for questioning in a deadly stabbing in Texas jumped to his death from the structure, the third suicidal incident in 15 months. Hudson Yards has pledged to triple the staff and security, saying they will “install National Suicide Prevention Lifeline signage and messaging developed in partnership with Born This Way, an organization committed to supporting the wellness of young people, at the entrance to the attraction and on all Vessel tickets,” it said in a statement.
The Department of Buildings (DOB) today unveiled new digital resources to help building owners comply with building sustainability requirements. A new website, “NYC Sustainable Buildings,” serves as a one-stop shop for owners and property managers of buildings that are covered by Local Law 97. Buildings covered by this law are required to meet stringent greenhouse gas emissions limits and may need to make energy efficiency retrofits to meet those targets.
In addition, new maps allow the public to see the location of all large buildings in the city that must meet new greenhouse gas emission limits, as well as the energy grades of those that are required to provide benchmarking information on their energy and water consumption.
