<p>In 2003, Muhlenberg established the President’s Committee on Sustainability, a leadership group composed of faculty, staff, and student representatives charged with supporting the College’s strategic goals of sustainability and environmental citizenship.</p><br/>
<p>In 2018, Muhlenberg College set out to renovate the vacant Sigma Phi Epsilon house, formerly located on this site, into a multi-purpose academic building. After careful study, the decision was made to demolish and recycle the existing structure and build a new, innovative academic building exemplifying the College’s commitment to sustainability.</p>
column2: >
<p>The Fahy Commons for Innovation and Public Engagement has been designed to be a learning facility. It collects rainwater, produces energy, provides a healthy indoor environment, and promotes collaboration among faculty, staff, and students. It stands as a testament to Muhlenberg’s commitment to Sustainability and community welfare in the 21st Century.</p>

<h2>Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design</h2><br/>
<p>Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is<br/>a globally recognized rating system established in 1993 by the United States Green Building Council to certify green building projects. It awards points based on a project’s location, site, water efficiency, energy use, materials sustainability, indoor environment, and innovation strategies. This project received a Platinum rating, the highest available to LEED certified projects.</p>

<h2>Living Building Challenge</h2><br/>
<p>The Living Building Challenge (LBC), developed and administered by the International Living Futures Institute, challenges all projects to make the world a better place. With focus on a project’s place, water, energy, materials, health, equity, and beauty, it is one of the most broad<br/>and deep green building certifications available. The Fahy Commons is designed to be LBC Core-ready, serving as<br/>a role model for sustainable design and redefining the<br/>future of the built environment at Muhlenberg College<br/>and beyond.</p>

<p>Fahy Commons features sustainable water strategies to reduce the amount of potable water used in daily operations through low-flow plumbing fixtures and an irrigation-free landscape design.</p><br/>
<p>To further decrease potable water usage, rainwater that falls on the roof is collected in a 10,000 gallon cistern buried beneath the central terrace. A pump and visible filtration system located on the Garden Level distributes this water throughout the building to flush toilets.</p>

<h2>Bird Glass</h2><br/>
<p>Up to 1 billion birds die every year from striking buildings in the United States alone, usually in window areas where they are unable to perceive glass. Study of this problem has been pioneered by Dr. Daniel Klem, Department of Ornithology since 1979. The patterns on the glass allow birds to see the windows and avoid deadly strikes.</p><br/>

<h2>Bee Brick</h2><br/>
<p>Loss of native bee habitat is a major cause for the declining pollinator population. Bee Bricks create an ideal home for solitary bees, who will pollinate flowers and contribute to a healthy ecosystem. Look for several bricks that have been incorporated near the terraces.</p><br/><br/>

<p>Early in the design process, the project team set out to understand what good design looks like by inviting faculty, staff, and student stakeholders to initial planning sessions. The goal of each of these meetings was to understand how each stakeholder group functions, their respective spatial and non-spatial needs, and the potential opportunities and impacts on the project. Through this process the design team learned that flexible long-term planning, shared resources, and access to nature were critical elements for all involved.</p><br/>
<p>During construction, a “topping out” ceremony brought stakeholders together to celebrate the project’s progress. All stakeholders were invited to sign the last structural beam before it was permanently installed.</p><br/>
<p>With the help of stakeholder feedback, the design team made several critical decisions to ensure an efficient and equitable project:</p>
column2: >
<p>The new building provides an accessible path to the forest edge for all users. It was sited to allow uninterrupted views to the natural landscape surrounding the site. Beginning at the entry foyer, the forest beyond is the central focal point, and uninterrupted access to daylight and views are provided at the end of each flanking hallway.</p><br/>
<p>All public spaces within the project are shared. Classrooms, meeting spaces, lounges, and outdoor terraces are designed to be flexible spaces open to use by all faculty, staff, and students. Each space has views of trees and Lake Muhlenberg beyond.</p><br/>
<p>Gender neutral bathrooms reinforce that this is a building for ALL community members.</p>

Humans have a close connection with the natural environment that is often lost in modern indoor spaces.<br/><br/>
<b>Biophilic Design</b> is the purpose integration of direct natural elements, indirect natural patterns and imagery, and place based experiences in the built environment to increase our connection to the nature.<br/><br/>
Look for biophilic elements throughout the design of the building, including direct views of the outdoors, natural materials and patterns, and areas of prospect and refuge.
