Nestled between the two main residential buildings, and peeking out from the shadow of the high bridge overhead, is the historic one-story brick Engine Room. The voluminous interior space, with its exposed steel structure ceiling and clerestory windows above, provides an inviting setting for visitors and small to medium-sized get-togethers. This building is home to the workout facility, sophisticated offices, a party room, and features a beautiful courtyard that draws in residents.
