| History |
This $6.3
million bond project replaces the outdated physical plant building constructed
in 1963, which occupies key space in the heart of the student housing area.
Construction began in summer 2005 with a projected completion date of Spring
2007.
The new
36,000-square-foot building, located at the edge of campus away from the
academic and housing core, incorporates a number of sustainable design features,
including vegetated roof, rainwater cistern, passive solar, active solar, and
geothermal heating and cooling. The project is one of 15 state-constructed
facilities included in the North Carolina Office of Energy's pilot program
following the North Carolina High Performance Building Guidelines for Public
Facilities. These guidelines, adapted from the U.S. Green Building Council,
require the facility to meet criteria for innovative design, energy efficiency
and environmentally responsible practices. |
