    Notes on slide 1

    Marketing: Library programming, highlighting special green section, Hastings Public Library is a good example of this: they do a lot of special programs about green Gives community a chance to see green in action – building itself becomes a reference resource and model Cultural Center – community as a green community

    Ann Arbor District Library has many green features in their branches – you can view them online solar heating, natural day lighting, a vegetated green roof, convection cooling, naturally captured and filtered storm water, native plants and grasses, and many uses of materials that are renewable resources 14,000 Square Feet

    2008 – Gold LEED certified building the building’s image, which references downtown Hastings’ 1900’s-era façade character; sun screens for daylight control, 4-element high efficiency window system, light shelves to bounce daylight deep into the interior, high-performance roof and wall systems, low velocity floor discharge HVAC system, high efficiency lighting and plumbing fixtures, a recycle center for library refuse, a rain garden for filtering site contaminants, and a 1,600 square-foot roof garden.  Recycled, refurbished, and sustainable materials are used throughout the library, including carpeting, chairs, desks, and wall coverings, which contributed to the USGBC’s award of LEED Gold certification to the new building.  Also Delta Township is a silver certified building made of mostly recycled materials, using energy efficient lights and windows and more.

    Wanted to keep idea of old building and had to work within similar/same footprint Reduced some parking Two buildings joined

    Pic: Library in 1926 During Renovation 17 million dollar budget – completed Fall 2003 Even lifted and preserved a holly tree that was an icon on campus Most plaster work on interior was preserved and repaired in some cases Atlanta, GA

    Sold out in a matter of months Bags had graphic focused design – says CPL in corner

    A.R. Kropp: Shelving, Veneering service Palmieri – furniture and veneering service

    The more centrally located your library is, the better No parking? No problem! Just kidding – but fewer parking spots can be a positive when seeking LEED certification Near a bus line or other form of transportation – Point! Putting up a sign that says “carpool, vanpool parking” Do you practice good management of resources Xeriscaping Solar panels! Water systems! HVAC! FIND LEED accredited professional
