Scope Of Work
First specifically designed Green Building on the CSUF campus the Project was awarded the Best Practices Award at the 2005 UC/CSU Sustainability Conference. Constructed to meet the LEED Silver Certification the project utilized many innovative ideas including waterless urinals and low volume toilets for water conservation, natural ventilation and light concepts as well as lighting controls and EMS systems to increase energy efficiency, and the use of pervious paving and recycled material content were incorporated. The museum portion of the building was a wood framed replica of an old barn, the classroom and kitchen areas were a more modern design, and the two building were brought together with a large naturally ventilated covered courtyard area which resembles the look of the high barn roof of the museum area.
