Sustainable decisions
School renovations preserve history and the environment
Tandus. Fern Hill Elementary School, Tacoma, Wash., had been a staple of the community since 1887. When it was rebuilt in 1911, community residents made sure it still embodied a rich history. By the time the Tacoma district decided to renovate the 93-year-old structure again, legislation had been passed in the state of Washington requiring any new or renovated public buildings to use high-performance methods that save money and improve performance through economic, community and environmental goals and to be designed, constructed and certified to meet LEED silver standards.
