The community room overlooks the adjacent city park. The design also incorporates many green architectural features to help with energy efficiency including erosion and sedimentation control, a model for a car sharing program, permeable materials for all walkways, patios and driveways, materials with weathered reflectivity, a green roofing system, diffused/muted lighting (no direct beams leaving site) and orienting the building so 80% of windows face north or south.
