The Stantec-designed project is targeting LEED Gold certification and will include an on-site photovoltaic array that will also serve as parking shade structures. Each building on the new campus is designed with the same architectural principles to create a cohesive campus aesthetic. The buildingsā facades will feature a combination of brick veneer, metal panels, and fenestrations. Each facade is designed specifically for each building in relation to its orientation and will aid with daylight harvesting and Net Zero Energy goals.
