... through sustaining community, recycling local resources, green environmental solutions, and providing room for growth
- site clean up of hazardous materials and reclamation
- salvaged building materials from local neighborhoods
- additional site opportunities (addition of theatre)
- solar roof on Mercado expansion
- solar reflector next to Mercado
- grey water collection and storage(roof and field water stored in salvaged dairy water tower)
- run off mitigation and control (landscaping and porous paving)
- minimized building footprint
- maximize sun lighting – main interiors face winter sun rotation, sun shades protect from direct heating in summer while still maintaining view, athletic fields located south, western side of site provides shaded sidelines
- Building mass situated to mitigate winter winds from north
- maximize internal structure for natural chimney-effect (circular core) and cross ventilation (east-west classroom design)
- inhabitable green roofs
