Projects that are LEED certied demonstrate they are environmentally friendly and adhere to green building practices. It is anticipated that Centennial Hall will meet LEED Silver Certication and will be approximately 35 percent more energy efficient than is required by the existing energy code, due in large measure to a C-shaped design with exterior walls and more windows that maximize the use of sunlight. Plans also call for sustainability features such as multiple rain gardens for catching storm water runoff, energy recovery devices that reduce the amount of heating and cooling energy needed for building mechanical systems, solar panels to heat water, and an enhanced process that assures that all building systems are working in concert in the most energy-efficient manner. “We expect this building to be around when UW-L celebrates its bicentennial,” says Ma Lewis, campus planner and director of facilities management. “Environmental sensitivity is of great importance to everyone on campus, so we’re examining every aspect of this project and assessing its impact on how it will inuence the environment today and for generations to come.” Using non-toxic paints that do not release signicant pollutants, building with products that contain recycled materials, and placing as many bike racks around the building as possible are among the ideas Lewis and his colleagues are considering that will minimize the ecologic impact of the project. A high-stakes proposition It’s no secret that the fundraising appeal for Centennial Hall concurs with a much-publicized campaign for a new Veterans Memorial Field Sports Complex. While Trapp concedes that some will wonder whether the ongoing appeal for the sports complex will impact donations given to the new academic building, he is condent the UW-L Foundation will be successful in its quest to raise the $6 million it needs to secure $38 million from the state. “is is a different project,” Trapp says. “e new Centennial Hall is about providing students with the tools they need to navigate comfortably in a global community. Teaching and learning are central to our mission. e motivations of those who contribute to the campaign for Centennial Hall are similar, yet different than those who give to the sports complex. Both projects are a vital part of our campus. Neither can stand alone.” His reasoning makes sense.
