With increased need for housing and a growing international student
summer program, the university completed construction of two
25,000-square-foot buildings with 152 beds consisting of a mix of
individual apartments and suites-which has received LEED® Silver
certification.
The design team developed an innovative solution to the building
construction utilizing structural insulated panels (SIPs). Use of the
SIP construction reduced the time needed for construction, allowing a
three-story buildings to be fully enclosed in less than a week. The SIPs
also dramatically increased the energy performance of the building
envelope, allowing the university to use a conventional, inexpensive
HVAC system to keep costs down while still achieving a 17 percent
better-than-code energy performance.
Other unique sustainable features include harvesting trees using horses
to reduce construction carbon footprint and reusing the wood for
exterior benches; low-flow plumbing fixtures; pervious pavement at new
parking lots to reduce storm-water runoff; installation of Energy Star®
certified appliances; purchase of 35 percent of the building's overall
power from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar; VOC-free
paints and adhesives; rapidly renewable material such as cork flooring
in the kitchen; extensive daylighting and views for occupants; 90
percent construction waste recycled; and covered bike racks.
