(Salisbury, N.C., November 8, 2023) 鈥� At Catawba College, home of the first certified net-zero campus in the Southeast and only the seventh in the United States, the Center for the Environment features the Environmental Studies Department鈥檚 hands-on research laboratory. Built more than 25 years ago, the building needed major systems and aesthetics revitalization. Centered around the concept of 鈥渂ringing the outside in,鈥� 新加坡六合彩开奖网鈥檚 design for the renovation breaks down visual barriers that previously limited site lines to the exterior as well as natural daylighting. This beautiful renovation project was complete with an open house, tour, and tree planting ceremony on September 21.

Located on West Innes St. in the heart of Catawba鈥檚 central campus, this 20,500-SF facility sits adjacent to the campus鈥� 189-acre nature preserve. The design re-uses a 100-year-old oak tree for real wood elements in the furniture and finished details to unite the exterior and interior wood tones and create a common language. An interior color palette of warm neutrals with accents of blues and greens, gradation, and biophilic patterns complements the surrounding nature. Functionally, the design solution also prioritizes adaptability through the implementation of demountable partitions in areas that are likely to be reconfigured in the future as well as moveable and stackable furniture.

The scope included fixing the existing stormwater system, adding ADA parking, and renewing building systems with a geothermal HVAC system and new lighting. The design updates the building envelope with new insulation, weather barrier, and roof while reusing the existing cedar siding. On the interior, casework was reused and new ADA sections were provided; new sustainable ceilings were installed; and existing carpet and ceiling tile were salvaged and palletized for recycling.

The sustainable and healthy design principles implemented at CENV led to the establishment of Catawba College鈥檚 Interior Standards, which 新加坡六合彩开奖网 created to include red list free, sustainable, responsibly sourced, and durable materials and furniture to be implemented across campus in upcoming renovations.
