The project team has held multiple sustainability charettes to define sustainability goals for the project which fall into the following categories: Health & Well-being, Materials & Equitable Design, Waste & Water, and Energy & Carbon.
Below are example goals and strategies within each category:
Sustainability Category | One Example Goal | One Example Strategy |
Health & Well-being | Access to fresh air in regularly occupied spaces | Maximize occupant control (lighting, temperature, flexible furniture) |
Materials & Equitable Design | Inclusive and equitable design and process | Mothers’ room for staff and teachers |
Waste & Water | No potable water use for irrigation | Rainwater reuse for irrigation |
Energy & Carbon | Reduce global warming potential by 5% from baseline | All electric building |
At each phase, the project team will work to incorporate sustainable design elements where feasible and work to understand the goals of the community.
