DESCRIPTION:"The Elements of Green Building" will discuss environmentally responsible 
 practices both as they have been applied to Windrush School's new classroom 
 and library building and in a larger context, providing the tools and 
 inspiration to integrate sustainable ideas into future building or 
 renovation projects. The presenters, architect Brian Feagans of Ratcliff 
 Architects and Windrush School Trustees Jon McPherson and Tom Beach, have 
 extensive professional experience in green building, renewable energy, and 
 construction management. \n\nWindrush School's innovative "green" classroom 
 and library building is currently under construction and will open in the 
 fall of 2008. When considering various plans to accommodate the continued 
 growth of this popular K-8 school, the Board of Trustees unanimously agreed 
 to take on the additional challenges of a "green building" in order to 
 tangibly model the concept of environmental awareness and responsibiility 
 that is taught in the classroom. The new building uses sustainable, 
 environmentally-friendly materials and is being constructed following 
 guidelines established by the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in 
 Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program. \n\nThe new two-story 
 building will include seven state-of-the-art classrooms and an expanded 
 library. This project furthers the school's mission by making it possible 
 to offer a Windrush education to more students, honor the local environment 
 by preserving as much of the campus's expansive open space, and respect the 
 global environment by minimizing the new building's short and long-term 
 resource use. The new building pays homage to the past by incorporating key 
 design elements that echo the grace and solidity of the historic Chung Mei 
 Home that is the main building on the campus. The new building is a 
 tangible expression of the school's respect for the environment-built to 
 sustain both the school and the planet.\n
