社區文化: This project was chosen as an AIA Committee on the Environment Green Project for 2005. It was submitted by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Additional project team members are listed on the "Process" screen.

節水方案: A zero-discharge wastewater reclamation system, graywater flushing, and low-flow fixtures reduce potable water use. A ground-source heat-pump system, daylighting, and electric light sensors minimize energy use.

室內環境品質: The grand upper level of the original bank barn is used as a seasonal area for exhibits, lectures, and other social functions. The one-story 20th century addition now houses a multipurpose exhibit, conference, and distance-learning area. Existing glazed-block walls, glass-block windows, and site-built roof trusses are exposed. Sunflower-seed composite panels, sound-absorptive straw panels, and salvaged fir complement the palette of original materials while underscoring the structure's connection to farming.
