Sustainability Tour of Commons, Briger Hall, & SEAS
How do you place high-performance laboratories, public gathering spaces, university services, and large-scale receiving operations on a steep, active campus site? Walk the complex with us and explore the planning, structure, logistics, and design decisions that make ES&SEAS a sustainable building complex.
Some specific feature we will explore:
the hybrid structural strategy: mass timber in offices and shared spaces, and steel and concrete where laboratories require tighter vibration control, resulting in a lower embodied carbon building
daylighting strategies for energy efficiency and human well-being
nature based designs to protect birds, support biodiversity, manage storm water
