Monthly Program – LEED Tour of St. Louis Community College-Meramec
July 15 @ 8:00 am - 10:00 am
Join us for our annual green building tour! We will visit St. Louis Community College – Meramec, which has two new buildings seeking LEED certification – the Financial Services Education Center (FSEC) and the Emerging Technology Center (ETC). Designed by Arcturis, the two new buildings are part of St. Louis Community College’s STLCC Transformed, a plan to modernize facilities and programming across its 6 regional St. Louis campuses.
The 70,000 square foot FSEC serves as the new front door for the Meramec campus and provides a hub for financial programming, with a focus on FinTech, entrepreneurship, and space accounting. The first floor will feature the Enrollment Center, offering recruiting, enrollment, career development, and financial aid services to students. The 80,000 square foot ETC is home to new and reimagined programs with a focus on emerging and sustainable sciences, engineering, design and an expansion of the plant science and horticulture programs. It also accommodates the new campus library.
The tour of these buildings will explore how the project team integrated design and sustainability strategies to create beautiful, healthy, comfortable and flexible environment for end users. Highlights will include site sustainability strategies, including landscape design to mitigate flooding, human health and wellness features, such as communicating stairs to promote activity and interaction, access to natural light and quality views, and a variety of spaces that are approachable to all, healthy materials, designing for efficiency, and how building features like the green roof among others have been designed to integrate with educational programming and support hands-on learning opportunities.
Members of the project team from Arcturis, Hellmuth + Bicknese, Clayco, Arbolope & S.M. Wilson will lead the tour, including Chrissy Hill Rogers and Ralph Bicknese.
