全新的欢迎中心是一处灵活的会议和社区空间，将周围的社区和附近的公共交通连接到保护区和海滩。该中心将容纳一个带有面向附近海滩露台的多功能社区会议室，以及支持纽约市公园城市公园护林员项目和反饥饿运动（TCAH）的办公室，这是一家总部位于布鲁克林的非营利组织，运营着中心附近1.5英亩的城市农场；此外，项目场地中，还规划了公园维修人员基地；以及为公园设备和当地非营利组织“Rockaways可持续发展与公平倡议”(RISE)提供存储空间，该组织经营着邻近的原生植物苗圃和探索花园；还有不分性别的公共厕所。

设计促进了建筑与其他用户和周围景观的公共互动。主要楼层被抬高到地面之上，以保护结构免受海岸洪水的侵袭，宽敞的外廊环绕在建筑主体周围，既是主要的流通空间，也是海滩游客和中心访客的社交催化剂。在建筑的南侧，一个面向海洋的大型露台将社区会议室延伸到有半户外的门廊中，该会议室向公众开放，可供人们直接使用或自行布置，并可以在线预订，从而真正实现向大众开放，并从多个方向为人们提供美丽的沿海景观视野。

The design of the building facilitates communal interaction with both other users and the surrounding landscape. The primary level – elevated above the ground to protect it from coastal flooding – is entirely encircled by a wide, sheltered porch, which serves as the main circulation space as well as a social catalyst for beachgoers and visitors. At the south side of the building, a large, ocean-facing terrace extends the community meeting room – which is open to the public for use or programming, and can be reserved online – into the covered porch, enabling open access and offering scenic views of the coastal landscape from multiple directions.

建筑内部由闭环地热系统进行供暖和降温，屋顶上一系列太阳能板能够发电，为低收入的社区居民提供额外的能源。建筑外立面采用了当地采购的fsc认证硬木，这些硬木未经处理，会在海滩环境中自然老化、变灰。温暖的木制板条延伸到室内，落地玻璃窗与大面积的天窗营造出明亮舒适的环境，创造出友好热情的空间氛围，此外，游客们也可以通过坡道和楼梯进入建筑。该中心内包含了HPD建造的第一个不分性别的公共厕所。

A closed-loop geothermal system provides heating and cooling, while a prominent rooftop solar array generates power and will eventually provide additional energy to low-income neighborhood residents. The building is clad in locally sourced, FSC-certified hardwood, which was left untreated to naturally age and gray in the beach environment. Warm timber slatting that extends to the interiors, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and generous skylights welcome visitors into the space, which is also accessible via ramps and stairs, and contains the first non-gendered public restrooms built by HPD.

欢迎中心的东侧，是由RISE经营的一座本地植物苗圃，苗圃中种植了适合当地的本地植物幼苗和树苗，以支持自然保护区、沙丘和其他沿海地区的持续植被恢复。同样，在中心东侧，由TCA运营的城市农场将通过向社区提供营养丰富的当地农产品和劳动力培训项目，重点解决Rockaway地区的粮食安全问题。大Rockaway海岸恢复计划和欢迎中心共同努力，致力于为当地提供相互关联的社会和空间基础设施，以优先考虑当地的声音，发展本地生态为宗旨，并培养长期的社区管理人才。

To the east of the Welcome Center, RISE will operate a native plant nursery, raising locally-adapted native plant seedlings and saplings to support ongoing revegetation of the nature preserve, dunes, and other coastal areas. Also to the east, the urban farm operated by TCA will focus on combating food insecurity in the Rockaways by providing the community with nutritious local produce and workforce training programs. Together, the Greater Rockaway Coastal Resilience Plan and the Welcome Center work to provide the interconnected social and spatial infrastructure needed to prioritize local voices, grow native ecologies, and cultivate long-term community-based stewardship.
