Churchville Nature Center - This remarkable project consists of a "green" building 4,800 SF expansion which will utilize energy conservation while respecting the natural environment by implementing LEED standards. The new building will be topped by a "living roof" where plants will grow and make use of rainwater. There will also be a rainwater and gray water collection system that will be utilized to water plants on the property. The center will employ geo-thermal technology for heating, and also include waterless urinals, low-energy lighting and solar panels.

Newtown Township Municipal Complex (4 Buildings)

New Administrative Office & Public Meeting Facility

Location: Newtown Township, PA
Size: 18,470 SF New Construction
This Facility recently obtained a LEED Silver Certification. It was designed using products made from post consumer and pre-consumer recycled material, and rapidly renewable materials, with an energy efficient wall system and low VOC paints, stains and sealants. Use of dual flush toilets and waterless urinals helps to implement 40% less water consumption than required by the Energy Policy Act Requirements. The Timberframe (manufactured by Timberpeg®) construction of the meeting room adds to the beauty and open feeling of the interior floor layout, public hallways and lobby. Newtown Township purchases 70.9% of their energy use from renewable energy sources. During the building process, 96% of construction and demolition waste was kept out of disposal facilities (i.e. landfills and incinerators).
