The Imaginarium houses a vertical garden with a hydropower demonstration area, education space, and a real-time dashboard showing building energy performance.

The seasonal rooftop also features a high efficiency, all electric kitchen and bar accommodating visitors on both The Imaginarium and Building 1, The Market at I-Square,  connected via a rooftop walkway.

This project is part of the Cleaner, Greener Communities program, a major statewide initiative encouraging communities to incorporate sustainability goals and principles into local decision-making, and then form partnerships to transform markets that lead to the reduction of emissions and the generation of economic development benefits. The program, administered by NYSERDA, also empowers communities to take action, providing technical resources and decision-making tools on land use, housing, transportation, energy, economic development and environmental practices, resulting in a more vibrant and prosperous New York State.
