Building on the Hardhat Tour, Jason Jewhurst, FAIA, Partner, and Principal at Bruner/Cott Architects, will present on Yale University’s first net-positive graduate housing complex at Yale Divinity School. Jason will be joined by John Paul Mancuso, Assoc. Director of Projector Management/Central Yale University of Facilities & Planning and Jan Koch, Sr. Project Manager, Shawmut Design & Construction. The Living Village is designed to meet the rigorous performance standards of the Living Building Challenge, including regenerative design strategies to achieve net-positive performance for energy use, water consumption and reuse, and retention.
The Living Village will be the largest living-building residential complex on a university campus & is recognized as a key building project supporting Yale’s Sustainability Vision, Climate Action Plan, and Planetary Solutions Project.
Attendees will be able to:
- Explore how regenerative architecture and systems design can create positive impacts on an occupants health and wellbeing through indoor air quality, access to daylight, fresh air and provide a vibrant social environment.
- Learn how net-positive water systems (rain-water capture and wastewater reclaim) and design can shape landscape, restore the health of local watersheds, and contribute to education and awareness of local and regional water resources.
- Understand how sustainable, ecological landscapes can provide 100% accessibility and create outdoor spaces and habitats for both humans and nature to create robust ecological habitats in urban neighborhoods.
- Deepen understanding of design strategies utilized by the YDS team to achieve high-performance, low embodied carbon construction and healthy materials approach to achieving the LBC Materials Petal and removing chemical toxins from the construction process.
