Dome

Southwest corner of building with HVAC services and loading docks; solar panels are above this area; The pavilion is a new teaching pavilion for timber and wood engineering research opened in 2005. Named in honor of the son of the founder of the logging company Kruger, Gene H. Kruger (1902-1988). This is a green building, built entirely of (processed) wood and non-polluting materials, with maximum use of solar energy for heating and passive natural ventilation. It was three floors above ground and one below. It is not LEED certified because the budget did not allow for the LEED certification fees (an estimated $75,000). The exterior wood siding is the same gray as the predominately limestone campus, monochrome like weathered wood and tree bark. Analogous to the warmth of trees, the building interior is honey colored, transparently-coated exposed wood. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 8/10/2015)
