Lubber Run Community Center

Arlington County | Arlington, Virginia

Through the integration of building and landscape, the Lubber Run Community Center offers a holistic response to an urban challenge -- ultimately creating public space that is greater and greener for residents. Connection to nature and preservation of open space were essential to designing the new building, and as a result, parking and some programs are located underground to allow for increased outdoor amenities at ground level.

This all-electric low EUI building is zero-energy ready. Lithium battery storage was implemented in the design for demand reduction and resiliency in the system during power outages. The on-site roof-mounted solar photovoltaics are being purchased via a solar purchase agreement currently in progress.

A roof-mounted photovoltaic array and battery storage system will help to reduce the building’s impact
