A high-quality indoor environment supports both environmental and human health. Key elements include natural light, clean indoor air, effective ventilation, and thoughtful design that enhances comfort and well-being.
Art Glass Wall:
The art glass wall brings natural daylight into the lobby while creating a visually inspiring backdrop for visitors and program participants. Inspired by the Northern Lights and flanked by Leopold Logs, the wall is imprinted with pine boughs from the Leopold Reserve. It was conceived and created by glass artist Renee Miller Knight, principal of reneéglass factory. The installation was generously gifted by the Bradshaw Knight Foundation.
Low-VOC Materials:
Whenever possible, low-VOC materials were used throughout the facility. Volatile organic compounds are gases emitted by certain solids and liquids and may have both short- and long-term health effects. These compounds are commonly found in building materials such as paints, finishes, and adhesives. By selecting low- or no-VOC products during construction, we enhanced indoor air quality not only during the building process but for years to come.
