WEB The Poetic and the Practical Provided by LMN Architects TOC 1 Three in One Provided by CORE architecture | design The D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation contracted CORE to design a vibrant community center on an empty, run-down lot in the Queens Chapel community. The Riggs LaSalle Community Center was conceived to fulfill three goals: one, to improve the area with a modern facility; two, to provide a flexible, multi-use community center for all ages; and three, to create a building remarkable for its sustainable design. THIS MONTH’S WEB EXCLUSIVE FEATURES INCLUDE Sustainability for the Little Guy By Lisa Russell, LEED AP Moving toward a more sustainable business model is a matter of, well, moving strategically. But this is, of course, oversimplifying a very complex subject. As you will see, you don’t need to be a Fortune 500 or have a large budget to begin to integrate sustainable design methodologies and manufacturing processes into your organization. 1 Targeting LEED Gold certification, The City College of San Francisco Performing Arts Center will be a 107,000-square-foot, state-of-the art performing arts center for the campus and community of San Francisco. Scheduled to be completed in 2012, the performing arts center will bring together the music and theatre arts departments under one green roof. 2 3 Harboring Transformation By Greg Dunlop The New Standard of Cool By Pamela Touschner, FAIA The Indio Teen Center, located in the Coachella Valley of Southern California’s desert region, is a modern masterpiece by not only architectural standards, but energy standards. The 12,500-square-foot facility gets 100 percent of its electricity from solar power, while the hot and dry desert environment inspired the designers to incorporate several modern style elements that serve both aesthetic and sustainable purposes. California Sets New Tone for Green By Dave Alpert, AIA 4 As a leading office furniture manufacturer, Allsteel works with its clients each day to meet LEED standards, so it’s only natural that Allsteel would make a commitment to have all its Resource Centers LEED-CI certified too. See what Allsteel accomplished when it transformed the fourth floor of an office building that’s in the middle of the bustling Faneuil Hall Marketplace historic district. 5 6 The Golden State is turning green in 2009. Now that California’s newly adopted Green Building Standards Code is in full force, the state hopes to reduce the energy use of buildings by 15 percent and target a 50 percent reduction in water for landscaping. But, how will the code impact other state governments looking to adopt their own green building guidelines in the next few years? WHITE PAPER Insulation and Waterprooﬁng for Metal Buildings & Metal Roof Systems Provided by Honeywell In this technical white paper, the use of closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (ccSPF) in metal buildings and metal roof retrofits and re-roofing projects is discussed. WEBINAR Beneﬁts and Integration of Green Cleaning Presented by Stephen P. Ashkin, President, The Ashkin Group Sponsored by Millicare A properly designed and implemented plan will have positive impact on the cleanliness of your facility, the health of its occupants and your ROI.
