Central downtown location capitalizes on existing utility infrastructure and public transportation. Site selection and full utilization of this important downtown block completes the University’s 1992 Master Plan. A vibrant transportation hub, street car, light rail and bus transportation are all directly adjacent to and fully integrated with pedestrian and vehicle modes.

Water usage is reduced by over 85% with water effi cient strategies. Reclaimed water for water closets, dual fl ush fi xtures, infrared sensor control faucets and low fl ow heads, and highly effi cient irrigation contribute to the projected savings.

Stormwater management includes storage, treatment and reclamation. Rainwater from the roof is captured, stored and reused on site to fl ush water closets and serve as fi re suppression water. Eco-roof planters on the fi fth level terrace retain and treat storm water reducing overfl ow. Site storm water is also treated with a water quality fi ltration system.

Construction debris has been carefully handled. 95% of the demolition and construction waste has been diverted from land fi ll. All materials have been evaluated with sustainable criteria. Over 10% (post consumer + ½ pre-consumer) of the total value of material in the project has recycled content. Over 10% of the value of material used has been extracted, processed and manufactured regionally (within 500 miles of the site).

Daylighting (use of natural light on the interior) and connection between interior spaces and interior to exterior spaces was a design priority. Daylight controlled electric light fi xtures turn off when daylight conditions are suffi cient for the task or space use, provide better lighting and reducing the electricity demand and the building cooling load.

Indoor air quality improvements due to control of construction dust and debris and use of low-emitting adhesives, paint, carpets and formaldehyde free casework contribute to user comfort and increased worked productivity. 29% less energy used. Strategies include: Highly effi cient mechanical and electrical equipment; effective daylighting; high performance exterior envelop with exterior sun screens, insulated dual pane glazing and highly insulated wall; fl exible ventilation system; reuse of existing well water drawn from and re-injected to the aquifer to eliminate cooling plant; all incorporated to reduce energy consumption.

Role: Amateur PhotographerCamera: Minolta XG-1Film: Fujichrome and Fujifilm X-tra

Project Description:As a gift my father gave me the camera that he captured my precious childhood moments with. I now use it to capture the life around me and have taken to compositions that find beauty in decay, texture and seemingly out-of-place objects.
