A new MTA plan for a ventilation plant in Greenwich Village hasn’t cooled off some peeved residents.

“The design they propose is really an eyesore, and does not do a very good job of integrating the feedback they got from the neighborhood,” said Andrew Berman, executive director of the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation.

With a brick façade and glazed-over windows, the revamped plant, slated to be built at Mulry Square on Greenwich Avenue and Seventh Avenue South, has been redesigned to resemble neighboring townhouses. Colorful tiles from a 911 memorial will also decorate the building’s exterior.

The MTA hopes to hire a contractor this year.

“The new plans essentially address some of the community’s concerns regarding aesthetics,” said Kevin Ortiz, a spokesman for the MTA.
