Overview

One of it's huge features is a 1600 square foot lake that is inside the building that serves as a geothermal/ground heat system during the summer and winter.

One of the questions that Galapagos Art Space answers on it's website is "why did we do it." Their answer, "we also wanted to prove something: if li’l-ole Galapagos Art Space can do it then so can any other performing arts facility, small business or building owner in New York City."
