Hurricane Creek Elementary School
Hurricane Creek, the first LEED Certified elementary school in Arkansas, strives to create a better learning environment while teaching students about green technology. To maintain cost effectiveness for the district, the design team searched for a balance between indoor quality, energy efficiency, and maintenance savings, nearly recouping the cost of the building within its projected life cycle. In a time of rising energy costs, designing “green” is not only environmentally, but also fiscally responsible.
