The Early Childhood Development and Parenting Center has been designed to make optimum use of natural light and overall energy use is 25 percent less than in a typically constructed building. More than 20 percent of building materials in the 47,885 sq ft structure are made from recycled material.
Around 9,000 sq ft of Pilkington Eclipse Advantage™ Arctic Blue over Pilkington Energy Advantage™ was used for the insulating glass units at the Center, which is built around a central courtyard and features an all-glass façade.
The Harris Stowe project achieved LEED gold certification from the USGBC.
