Come learn how the next generation in building design impacts all phases of the building lifecycle - from site selection and design choices by the architects, new materials and building techniques, and even changes in maintenance and operations.
Technology advances on many fronts - and the construction industry is no exception. Rice Fergus Miller completely renovated the former Sears Automotive Center, a 1948 building that was vacant for 23 years, for its new office and studio. The space is a laboratory for innovative design and experimentation, combining sustainable energy and water use features with the recycling of an abandoned and forgotten downtown building shell. Its Leed® (Leadership in Enviornmental and Energy Design) Platinum building will be the first of its kind on the Olympic Peninsula and the most energy efficient office building in the Puget Sound region by a factor of two.
