SPECIAL FEATURES

Landscaping and streetscape treatments are designed to blend City College with the surrounding East Village streets in Centre City, with respect to the street tree guidelines established for the downtown area by the Center City Development Corporation (CCDC).

All plants will be selected based on criteria that consider their drought tolerance and compatibility with the downtown climate. Landscaping will use a high efficiency Entry perspective irrigation system.

SUSTAINABLE FEATURES

All classrooms make extensive use of natural daylight, minimizing energy use and maximizing student and faculty connection to the outdoors.

The planning and design of the site creates a pedestrian gateway for City College, with a series of public courtyards providing student gathering space as well as a processional circulation route through the site.

The project takes an innovative approach to storm water management by returning the water to the ground and minimizing the amount of storm water that reaches the City’s storm drain system.

Projected energy savings of 572 460 kilowatt hours are 25% better than state requirements.

Water efficient plumbing, irrigation and landscape will result in a water savings of 40% on the building use and 50% on landscape.
