Sustainability + Safety

A DOAS fresh air exchange system coupled with a centralized HVAC system will enable preconditioned air to enter the building allowing for increased comfort, reduction in energy consumption, and cost savings.

Slate tiles and replaced doors will be repurposed for future use rather than disposed of in a landfill.

LED lighting continues to be replaced throughout the building to reduce energy consumption and the installation of occupancy sensors will offer further benefits.

Decisions regarding materials, finishes, and fixtures will be made with consideration for high standards in energy efficiency and environmental stewardship.

Special attention will be given to increase accessibility with widened entries, ramps, updated restrooms on each level, and other accessibility improvements.

A sprinkler system will be added to ensure fire safety. Electrical and wifi upgrades will enable enhanced safety features including access-controlled doors, cameras, and outdoor lighting.
