Completed in 2009, the 89,700 sf, four-story LEED Gold certified Floral Vale office building was tightly designed to reduce the amount of building materials required while improving energy efficiency (28% energy saving design).Stormwater is managed through rain gardens and the smart building enables Tenants to monitor and manage their energy usage.
This project includes the historic restoration of an 1805 Meeting House and a new community gathering space designed to match the elegant simplicity and durability of the Meeting House. Prior to design, Re:Vision’s due diligence included an energy audit, structural analysis, and archaeological investigation of the existing site and historic Meeting House building. This information formed the basis for a master plan which Re:Vision then executed.
The Horticulture Center at the University of Pennsylvania's Morris Arboretum is a complex of five structures. Located at the Arboretum's Bloomfield Farm, the project includes offices, vehicle storage, shops for carpentry, equipment maintenance and other "back of house" uses. The layout of the facility includes a "public courtyard" and a "work courtyard" which are arranged to allow safe access to the public facility for visitors, while permitting the daily horticulture activities to proceed easily.
Sustainability Narrative: Not just another LEED Gold building, Colorcon Global Headquarters and Technology Center provides a cost-effective model of environmental stewardship for suburban office buildings. Rather than dominating the site, the building is knit back into the landscape, creating a multi-ecosystem environment which replicates native Pennsylvania habitats. LEED standards measure environmental performance of the project, and both the design and corporate policies innovatively integrate sustainability into the on-going life of the entire community.
