  1. LEED-like Building: Rhodes College and Barret Library C. Ekstrom ACS Summit 2/11/05

  2. Paul Barret Jr. Librarystarted 2/03 - completed 8/05

  3. Planning Principles • Reinforcing, invigorating, and transforming the physical center of the campus to be the intellectual heart of Rhodes. • Encouraging student and faculty interaction through building space design. • Enhancing the pedestrian experience by removing asphalt and parking from the inner campus. • Enriching the architectural experience by honoring our historic commitment to gothic design, Oxonian quadrangles, enhanced landscape and open space. • Designing a building flexible enough to meet the needs of future generations of students, capable of adapting readily to rapid changes in technology, the ways students learn and pedagogy. • Sustaining a building for the ages by the selection of environmentally sensitive building materials and construction practices thereby promoting efficiency in energy, resource use and maintenance.

  4. Sustainable Practices Officer • Brian Foshee, Facilities Fellow 2003 • Position established by the Rhodes Planning Cooperative. • Joined the U.S. Green Building Council • Worked with Council to develop Energy and Environmental standards • Frequent tours

  5. Duties of Sustainable Practices Officer • Meet architects and contractors at every meeting to champion sustainability issues. • Negotiate the implementation of sustainable construction practices & environmental sensitive material. • Communicator • Collaborate with RPC to resolve conflicts sustainable practices vs costs

  6. Construction • Reuse of excavated fill for landscaping and backfill • Erosion & sedimentation control plan • Attempt to use wood from cleared trees • Minimal site disturbance

  7. Topping the Building

  8. Lighting • Abundant windows • Automatic sensors for lighting • High efficiency light fixtures • Minimum exterior lighting • Barret's apse ceiling will be painted to represent the arrangement of stars on the first day of Rhodes' first year, in January 1849, when the Lynx constellation ruled the sky.

  9. Energy • Computer modeling for maximum efficiency of HVAC • Electronic monitoring to provide optimal energy and water utilization • Electronic monitoring for temperature and humidity

  10. Water • Location of water heaters close to use areas • High efficiency irrigation technology • High efficiency toilet room fixtures • Net reduction in storm water runoff due to increased green space

  11. Air • Systems do not use HCFCs or Halon • Enhance indoor air quality through ventilation system design • Use of low VOC in carpets & paints • C02 monitoring in return air ducts • UV light source in each air handler

  12. Building Supplies • Recycled products: • cork floors • carpeting has some recycled fiber • Stone flooring in parts • Exterior stone from nearby source – Arkansas quarry (325 million years old)
