Prospect Lake Basecamp

Our team was delighted to work on this exciting new headquarters and outdoor education programming center for the Power to Be non-profit organization, on a reclaimed golf course near Prospect Lake. 

The project is seeking certification with the Living Building Challenge, requiring net positive energy and net-zero water performance, among other rigorous requirements related to health, well-being, and beauty in design. 

The new buildings include an administration office and volunteer center for the organization, an outdoor gear storage hub with a community room and kitchen, and a maintenance systems building that houses the central ground-source heat pump plant and an off-grid water treatment system.

Innovative mechanical features include in-floor radiant heating and cooling, high-performance heat recovery ventilators, and a fully automated building control system. The project also consists of a rooftop solar PV array to meet Net Positive Energy requirements, and on-site well water, treatment, and septic systems to meet Net Zero Water performance.
