Our cover story features the new 4,300sf farmstand building at Land’s Sake Farm in Weston, Mass. Bowdoin provided construction management services on the project, which is designed and built following passive house principles and targeting net-zero, carbon neutral energy standards. Sustainable materials and energy-efficient systems include cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels, triple glazed low-e insulated glass, and a rooftop solar array that powers the entire farm. Read more about this exciting project on page 16.
Bruner/Cott Architects recently announced it has completed the new 21,000sf Aliki Perroti & Seth Frank Lyceum at Amherst College in Amherst, Mass. The lyceum showcases low-carbon design, with its interior and exterior palettes prioritize materials with low amounts of embodied carbon as well as products that can store carbon, such as wood and other plant-based materials. The building’s spaces are arranged to encourage interaction, collaboration, and conversation among fellows, faculty, students, and the greater college community. Read more on page 18.
