第二所学校在绿色校舍系列志愿者建造的低收入社区学校今天早上在凤凰城突破了地面。新的6,000平方英尺的结构正在加入19世纪和格伦大州附近的现有Orangewood学校校园，并将仅由志愿者建造，其中包括各种行业公司捐赠的材料。

旨在完成LEED-PLATINUM认证后，华盛顿小学区的新学校将致力于遏止（科学，技术，工程和数学）教育，但也将成为一个教学工具，以证明学生和学生社区可持续设计的价值观。

“Orangewood is thrilled to break ground on what promises to be the most amazing green experience for our students, staff, parents and community,” says Andree Charlson, the school’s principal.

The new building was designed by Phoenix-based Emc2 Group Architects Planners PC, while construction is being overseen by Kitchell, also of Phoenix. Engineering firms Heideman Associates, Larson Engineering and Olsson Associates worked on the innovative green design, which includes classroom space and an indoor/outdoor amphitheater.

Just a few examples of the manufacturer-donated sustainable materials include a rainwater harvesting system from BRAE, high-efficiency windows provided by Pella Windows and Doors, sustainable restrooms donated by Sloan and Excel Dryer Inc. and no-VOC paint from Glidden Professional.

“Despite coming out of one of the worst economic times in the history of our country, we’re able to find some very willing partners to make a difference and make a statement to do something good for the community,” says Marshall Zotara, co-founder of Cause and Effect Evolutions, a Carlsbad, Calif.-based firm that began the Green Schoolhouse Series and is leading the organizing, project management and public relations for the many corporations and construction industry firms donating their workforce, materials and money.

随着新学校破坏的地面，志愿者仍然很难在北凤凰州道德鲁纳·小学的绿色校舍系列的第一所学校的工作中努力。计划于9月开放，Safari由Stantec设计，由Hensel Phelps Construction Co.建造，无论是凤凰城办事处。

Safari正在追求Leed Platinum，并且还预期通过更加冷却的梁冷却系统等创新功能来实现净零能量使用 - Alex Bertolini第一次在这个项目中首次在索诺兰沙漠中使用的新产品Manager与Hensel Phelps。“我们可以在那里玩最新，最有趣的系统，”他补充道。

Hensel Phelps used building information modeling extensively, despite the project’s modest 6,300-sq-ft size. “Even on a small job, modeling saves time,” Bertolini says, adding that BIM helped tremendously with planning under the job’s short time frame and all-volunteer workforce.

One of those volunteers is semi-retired carpenter John Hall, who says he’s spent more than 100 hours on the jobsite so far and has enjoyed learning about the new systems being incorporated into the state-of-the-art school building, such as the insulated concrete-formed walls.

这两所凤凰学校是第一个在美国专题为1，低收入公立学校校区的计划捐赠的绿色学校中的第一个，在美国第三次凤凰区开创性之后，该系列将继续前三名加利福尼亚州建筑物。

“It is amazing to see the community and corporate America collaborate to transform learning for these public schools,” Zotara says, adding that the buildings will benefit the surrounding communities as well.
