Designed by Maclay Architects, the building is claimed to be the first and only net-zero school building in the US. The building spans 16,500 square foot and includes several sustainable features. It includes passive solar heating,
on occupancy lighting and ventilation systems integrated with extensive daylighting CO2 sensors and installation of a white reflective roof.
Other green features of the facility include a super-insulated building envelope which uses R20 under-slab insulation, R20 foundation wall insulation, R45 walls, R60 roofs, and R5 fiberglass windows.
During its construction, the facility has used materials procured from local sources and is also equipped with an advanced storm water management system. Electricity to the building is supplied through a 36.8 kilowatt array of solar-tracking PV solar panels instead of carbon based fuel. The field house of the school generates its own energy with the grid generating power for the remaining school. Further, 35% of the food served in the cafeteria is being provided by the facility's working farm.
