DWELLING UNIT IS CONSTRUCTED OF RE-CLAIMED GRAIN SILOS. INTERNAL WALL MA-TERIAL IS LIGHT-GAUGE STEEL STUD FRAM-ING. THESE STUDS HAVE A HIGH RECYCLED CONTENT. BATT INSULATION WILL BE ADDEDTO THE INTERNAL WALL. THE GRAIN SILOSMAY BE COLLECTED FROM OTHER PARTS OF MONTANA AND SHIPPED TO MISSOULA ONTHE RAIL LINES CLOSE TO THE SITE. THESE GRAIN SILOS ARE BUILT IN A WIDE RANGE OFSIZES.

CONCRETE FLOORS CREATE THERMAL MASS. HEAT IS COLLECTED DURING THE DAY ANDRELEASED SLOWLY AT NIGHT TO KEEP THE SPACE WARM.

MOST OF THE OFFICE WALLS ARE REPLACED AND FILLED WITH LARGE OPENINGS. THISWILL LET PEOPLE PASSING THE SITE KNOW WHAT ACTIVITIES HAPPEN WITHIN THE MUDSITE. THERE IS A CLEAR VIEW OF THE DEM-ONSTRATION AREA FROM THE STREET. ONE WALL OF STRAW BALE CONSTRUCTION IS RE-TAINED FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES.

THE ENTRY TO THE SITE IS A WATER COL-LECTION SYSTEM. STEEL POLES SUPPORTA RECLAIMED GRAIN SILO ROOF. THE ROOF COLLECTS WATER FOR GRAY WATER USE. WATER FROM THE RENOVATED 629 BUILDING IF ROUTED TO THE UNDERGROUND CISTERN BELOW THE ENTRY.

SLIDING DOORS ALLOW TOTAL ACCESS TO THE OUTSIDE DEMONSTRATION AREA FROM THE MULTI-USE SPACE. IN WARMER MONTHS MUD CAN HAVE DEMONSTRATIONS THATTAKE ADVANTAGE OF AN INDOOR-OUTDOOR SPACE. THESE LARGE OPENINGS ALSO MAKETHE SPACE FEEL LARGER. THE OPENINGSCREATE A CONNECTION WITH NATURE, CRE-ATING A BETTER INDOOR ENVIRONMENT.

WIND TURBINES MADE BY AEROVIRONMENT WILL BE IMPLEMENTED ON THE WESTERN PART OF THE SITE. THESE WIND TURBINESCAN OPERATED ON 5MPH OF WIND.

THE ROOF SLOPE OF THE TOOL LIBRARY ISDIRECTED TOWARDS THE SOUTH. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE ADDITION OF SOLAR PANELS IN THE FUTURE.

GARDEN AREAS ARE LOCATED ON THESOUTHERN PART OF THE SITE FOR THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF SOLAR ACCESS.

GARDEN AREAS ON THE NORTHERN PARTOF THE SITE ARE INTENDED TO SHOW THEPUBLIC WHAT MUD DOES. THESE GARDENS ALSO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SETBACK SPACE. THESE GARDENS WILL HARVEST PLANTS THAT REQUIRE LESS SOLAR ACCESS.
