Treasure Island has the potential to become one of the city’s most beautiful and productive neighborhoods. Creating parks and open spaces will add value to the land. The purpose of the research center is to develop a variety of methods to remediate the contaminated soil on the island. The remediation fields will illustrate a range of options that could transfrom the land into recreational parks for the community. The concepts explore how soil remediation can provide opportunities for a healthy living space, as well as address environmental concerns. The research center would be a mojor factor shaping the character of the island, creating a strong link to the existing community and the proposed development. A research center would be a part of this larger development that would transform Treasure Island for decades to come. The research center is a project that integrates the sciences, economics and urban planning with education and an advocacy to support the public agenda.
