What are the building materials?
Currently, exterior materials include a sandstone base and terra cotta walls which will be constructed in panels. Colors have not yet been decided. There also will be glass walls at the top of the six-story parts of the building. Our plan is that the new building will be LEED certified. The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System is a voluntary national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. Our goal is to make the best choices to achieve the highest environmentally sustainable impact within our budget. For example, green roofs on parts of the campus will reduce storm water run-off and reduce heat gain.
