About
Project |
Project Description:
The Eco Center is intended to promote awareness of issues
related to sustainable development to a broad audience
which includes University students, grade school students,
building professionals and the general public. The project
was designed, documented and constructed in collaboration
with three separate interdisciplinary groups of University
Students, and was initially funded with a $10,000 grant
from the Environmental Protection Agency. The Eco
Center, now complete after raising close to $60,000 through
a combination of grants, donations and industry partnerships, represents
the first load bearing straw bale building as well as one
of the first carbon - neutral public facilities in the
region. The project generates all of its own power
and monitors the performance of alternative energy systems
on site, including photovoltaic, solar hot water and wind
power.
Jury Comments:
“Expressive construction effectively advances
goals of sustainable architecture in a rural sitting”
“Diagrams and drawings clearly illustrate the
design concepts and there was excellent diagramming illustrating
the importance of process
“The building has a clear expression of sustainable
concepts in the architecture…there was an incredibly
thorough exploration into the project that was greatly
appreciated.”

of sustainable architecture in a rural sitting

concepts
- Clear expression of sustainable concepts in the architecture
