A fundamental objective of our renovation was to minimize our impact upon the environment.

All plans & renderings are subject to change until the completion of the project.

Just a few of the many sustainable practices we’ve implemented include:

  • One quarter of the center’s electric power supplied from new roof-mounted solar panels

  • Choosing building systems that produce the greatest possible energy efficiency in such areas as insulation and glazing

  • A new heating, ventilating and air conditioning system using the most efficient new technologies as well as improved filtration for healthier airflow

  • Low-energy LED lighting systems throughout

  • Reduced water use from low-flow plumbing fixtures

  • Selection of materials based upon their low carbon footprint, non-toxic content and regional sourcing

  • An expanded rain garden for even better storm water management

  • Use of construction management techniques that reduce waste, maximize recyclings and make the greatest possible use of the existing structure

BPA has registered this project under the Green Building Council’s LEED program (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) targeting a Gold LEED level of achievement.
