STUDIO
Our sustainable work ethic is also infused within our own studio. Our studio is located in the historic WROL Building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. When we decided to move here from our former Old City location, we had the fantastic opportunity to make our own studio a sustainable space.
Our tenant build out of the second and third floors at 524 S. Gay Street has earned LEED Gold from the USGBC’s LEED Commercial Interiors rating system. Features include low flow plumbing fixtures, sustainably harvested wood floors, low VOC finishes, daylight sensors, and local materials. Our water savings is 40% over a conventional office, and our lighting systems are 25% more energy efficient than an office just built to meet code. Best of all, our electricity consumption is 44% less per square foot at our new office than it was at our previous space. Our employees bicycle to work, we recycle everything possible, we purchase green power, and generally try to live and work in the most sustainable way possible.
Elizabeth Eason Architecture’s staff is well versed in sustainable design and all are LEED Accredited Professionals. Having a high level of sustainable design knowledge throughout all levels of staff allows us to incorporate these principles into every project. We also take time each week for an in-office educational session for all staff. We use this time for a design charrette, to watch a TED talk, or to discuss a particular sustainable principle. It is a fun way to share what we have learned and to conclude the work week.
We are recognized as the leading sustainable design firm in the area. If you would like to be a part of our team, please email your resume to info@EEArchitecture.com.
