At Grand Valley State University (Allendale, Michigan) for the excellent Re-think It 2015 Conference. Here are my pictures of the beautiful Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons that opened in 2013. This is a LEED Platinum building (the first I ever visited). From their site: "The Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons is designed to be the intellectual heart of the Allendale Campus. It will exceed the expectations of anyone who thinks of a library solely as a home for printed books and whispered words. In this new library, students will find a range of environments, from noisy to quiet, in which they can work on an assignment alone or in a group; receive coaching from a peer consultant in research, writing, or presenting; practice a new skill or play with a new idea; learn something unexpectedly; engage easily with each other in spaces engineered to accommodate the sounds of natural conversation; or curl up by the fireplace in a contemplative space with the best views on campus. Students will do all of these things in a building that was crafted with their needs in mind—the right lighting, the right furniture, the right resources, the right services, the right spaces, and the right amount of flexibility. "Going to the library" will take on a whole new meaning as the Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons becomes and integral part of every student's experience at Grand Valley."

Stafford Associates, Dr. Eugene F. Stafford Building, is a Data Center and Office Building located on Long Island at 21 Bennetts Road in Setauket, New York. The facility incorporates many green features and anticipates a LEED Silver certification, LEED elements incorporated into the building include:
Preferred parking for hybrid vehicles & those carpooling – encourages use of these means of transportation which lowers greenhouse gas emissions
Rainwater collection for site irrigation – lowers the buildings demand for potable water
20% + of site left as open space – help maintain habitat for natural ecosystem
Cut off light fixtures – maintains dark sky
Waterless urinals, dual flush toilets & low flow fixtures – lowers buildings demand for potable water
Implementation of Construction Waste Management Plan – encourages the reuse & recycling of Construction waste & keeps useable material from the landfill
Use of SIPs (Structurally Insulated Panels) – tighter more efficient building envelope, lowers energy demand and associated pollution
Tighter building envelope and innovative building systems – approximate 30% less energy use and carbon footprint than typical building construction
Recycled content in building materials – reduces need for virgin materials and associated environmental costs
Local/regional content in building materials – supports local economy while reducing impact of transporting materials to the site
Low VOC materials – healthier indoor air for building occupants
CO2 monitoring – healthier indoor air for building occupants
The building itself is 30,000 sq. ft. and has many house like qualities to give clients, tenants and employees the sense that they are working with a family owned business. The building is adorned with rich earth tones throughout which can be found in the black marble steps with orange veins to the mahogany in the Stafford lobby, the deep brown accented carpets and natural wall coverings. Craftsmanship and high technology are infused throughout the building from the hand crafted railings in the center atriums to the Tier 3 Data Center that boasts concurrently maintainable site infrastructure guaranteeing 99.982% availability.
This building is located at Downey Ave and Firestone Blvd. Records show it was built in 1946, and during a recent remodel, you could actually see what looked to be the original architectural details. Streamline Modern or Art Deco form what I could tell. It's all hidden behind the boring plaster box.
