Drury University’s O’Reilly Family Event Centre wins LEED Gold
Published: 16-Feb-2012
Drury University’s O’Reilly Family Event Centre in Missouri, US has received LEED Gold certification from the US Green Building Council.
The facility, opened in October 2010, has been designed by H Design Group and developed by Killian Construction Company. It has a seat capacity of 3100 and houses the Panther and Lady Panther basketball and volleyball arenas.
The arena has employed a host of eco-friendly elements. It includes installation of low-flow water systems which reduce water consumption. The building has been equipped with a roof which reflects sunlight. This, coupled with solar reflective pavement materials, helps in reaping energy cost cuts. The facility also incorporates energy-efficient lighting fixtures. Presence of a dedicated space for recycling adds to the sustainability factor. Use of various green features results up to 40% of utility cost savings for the school as against traditional buildings.
