The project meets the criteria for LEED Silver and contains several innovative sustainability features, including thermostatically controlled buoyant air natural ventilation, carefully designed solar control, active heat recovery ventilation, and a high performance envelope with insulated glazing.

We placed a new skylit and passively ventilated garden adjacent to the old library and removed the walls between them. The garden illuminates the interior of the library as it creates a quiet and contemplative comfort. The most gratifying moment was to meet the community as the library reopened and feel the sense of pride that that architecture can bring to all of us.
