Set into a dramatically sloping hillside at the edge of the campus, the Campus Energy Plant puts tri-generation energy efficiencies on display. The low ground structure fuses building and landscape to reduce the clear mass of the large base. Rooted in the campus Science and Technology Corridor facing the main city street maximizes the opportunity to convey the University’s pledge to sustainability to the city and the campus. Interpretive elements will highlight the energy savings of the building and celebrate the important infrastructure part as a positive contribution to its environment.
