SOLAR SHADING
Self-shading overhang & screen minimizes heat gain and maximizes visual connections to natureHABITAT RESTORATION
Landscape designed to protect native & adaptive vegetation INTEGRATIVE DESIGN
Corridor serves as an uninterrupted campus site connectorINDOOR AIR QUALITY
Operable windows provide optimized natural airflows. Ventilation improves air quality & reduces energy useROOF ANALYSIS
Roof materials have high albedo. Roof captures stormwater minimizing site erosion and runoff. Excess stormwater is stored subgrade. Water is reused for toilets and greenhouse irrigation.SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
Low VOC finishes for healthy air quality Local, recycled, and rapidly renewable FSC woodHIGH EFFICIENCY SYSTEMS
CFC free - chilled & hot water distribution from central plant DYNAMIC & DIFFUSE DAYLIGHTING
High performance vision glass with solar shading & frit facade optimizes daylighting and minimizes heat gainBIRD FRIENDLY DESIGN
Innovative, bird friendly screen & glass treatments reduce bird strikesSMART LIGHTING
Daylight dimming & occupancy sensors reduce energy use and increase user comfortLIGHT POLLUTION
Cut-off site lighting mitigates light pollutionOPTIMIZED OPEN SPACE
Elevated structure above wetlands creates minimal impactPERMEABLE PAVING
High albedo pervious paving creates a more natural hydrologic balance and reduces runoff volumeNATURAL HYDROLOGY
Reduced irrigation demand from natural rainwater treatment pondRAINWATER HARVEST AND
SMART IRRIGATION
Moisture sensors control irrigation of stored rainwater. Remaining water is directed to greenhouse
