Earning 80 out of 110 points on the LEED scorecard, the new Crafton Center building at Crafton Hills College is LEED PLATINUM Certified. The 50,000 gsf student services and administration building had an initial goal for LEED Silver distinction, but high scores in several categories helped push the project’s rating to the top.
tBP/Architecture is proud to be the design architect for the project, working with the Architect of Record, HMC Inc. The building’s sustainable features include sun shading devices designed specifically per orientation, solar photovoltaic panels system, high efficiency mechanical system, 1” insulated low emissivity (“Low-E”) coated glazing, a hybrid recycled panel “rain screen” system, and recycled materials for the interior and exterior of the building. Complementing the original modernist design of the campus, the new Crafton Center serves as a welcoming new threshold for students and the community.
