Before Kroon Hall, a brownfield site crowded by gloomy brown stone, pavement, dumpsters and an aging power plant. The goal was to erase what was and devolpe and establish a building that would bring natural light and openness along with a connection to the environment that surrounds it. An extensive Project team, and structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire Protection engineers were incorporated to bring this project from vision to finished product. The Dean of Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies wanted to build the greenest building on the Planet. In statistical analysis, Kroon Hall is designed to use 58% less energy than similar buildings and has become the flagship of Yale University’s sustainability mission.
The narrow high Arc roof design is constructed of stone, concrete, steel, and glass. The Footprint is between two Science building still in use. Being a former brownfield site, the LEED Platinum building gives bright company for the dark structures surrounding it. The team chose for the project were Centerbrook Architects and Planners, as Executive Architect, collaborated on the project with the Design Architects, Hopkins Architects out of London, …show more content…
Credit is given to the selection of architectural, structural and landscape materials used in the building and for recycling. Points are awarded for the percentage of materials that were purchased within a radius of 500 miles from Kroon Hall or are made of recycled materials. The project purchased 16% of the materials with recycled content and 34% from regional sources. Almost 80% of the timber purchased for the building is FSC Certified.” Because of the locality of the materials sourced and the recycled materials that were implemented, Kroon Hall achieved its recognition in the Materials and Resources
