Editor's Notes
- #3: GAD is the heart of a city-wide strategy to transform Oberlin into the first post-carbon economy and create a sustainable model of a thriving community.
- #4: Incredible arts and sciences expertise Support for a broad initiative
- #7: Next ºÝºÝߣ
- #8: Part of the global community
- #9: Example for struggling communities in the rust belt
- #10: Close connection between college and town
- #16: The Green Arts district will utilize cutting edge active and passive building technologies and site design strategies to incorporate natural systems into the built environment. By acknowledging the natural conditions, including hydrology and solar orientation, the Green Arts District maximizes natural day-lighting and achieves zero storm-water runoff. The eco-machine treats all the waste generated by the school and living buildings, and the landscape of the district works to harmoniously augment comfort and productivity. The minimization of energy use through building design, form and orientation will be coupled with energy production strategies such as photovoltaic panels, geothermal, biogas from site based waste, use of landfill gas or biomass for central heating and energy production, and the potential installation of a wind turbine for education purposes.
- #17: The site circulation is designed to both restore the historic promenade fronting on Tappan Square while also allowing maximum permeability into the District. A series of formal and organic connections within the site allow students, faculty, and visitors to mix where appropriate while also creating private spaces for College users. The ability of the district to act as a learning laboratory also encourages exploration of the buildings and the landscape to capture imagination and boost learning.
- #18: Our job to find the ways these systems can be integrated to maximize performance
- #19: The oberlin project is a city wide strategy to transform oberlin into a truly sustainable model of a thriving community. The green arts district is the heart of this initiative. other components of the project include a carbon neutral regionalenergy generation strategy, the creation ofa greenbelt and a corresponding resource management strategy and greening the arts, a program to understand how the arts can influence and communicate issues of sustainability to the larger world and also an analysis of the impact of current artspractices and materials.
