Sustainable Features

Ruby Bridges has a number of sustainable features that were included in the building design to support the District’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.

Use of geothermal wells and ground source heat pumps as both heating and cooling source
Material reuse – trees grown onsite were used in building elements like window seats, benches and column wraps
Enhanced building envelope – through efficient insulation and windows for temperature control, as well as reduced energy costs
Electrical plug load management with sweeping shut-oﬀ to save energy
Use of stormwater detention to manage stormwater runoff
Low flow plumbing fixtures to save water usage
