Student Recreation Center

This building, completed in 1999, received the regional "Energy Smart Award" for its ecological design. Some of these design features include double-paned, UV rated windows along the front of the building, which regulated inside temperatures and reduce the need for heating and cooling. Motion detectors are also used throughout the building to limit non-essential lighting and air circulation.

One very interesting feature is the capture of steam created by the warmth of the pool and the locker room showers that is reused for heating elsewhere -- like a mini-steam power plant. In addition, the new weight room south is notable for its "smart lighting" system, of which a similar system will be installed in the main weight rooms this summer.
