Global Ecology Research Center at Stanford University is an extremely low-energy laboratory and office building for the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The mission of the new Department of Global Ecology is to conduct basic research on the interactions between the earth's ecosystems, land, atmosphere, and oceans. This project unified several buildings and activated spaces on a site that the Carnegie Institution has occupied since 1928, improving contact and circulation between two departments and creating an outdoor collaboration space. #Adaptable_design #Benign_materials #CD_waste_management #Certified_wood #Commissioning #Connection_to_outdoors #Daylighting #department_of_energy #DOE #Droughttolerant_landscaping #Durability #Efficient_irrigation #Efficient_lighting #energy_efficient #Glazing #Green_specifications #HVAC #Indigenous_vegetation #Integrated_team #Local_materials #Lowemitting_materials #Massing_and_orientation #Natural_ventilation #Onsite_renewable_electricity #Passive_solar #Recycled_materials #Salvaged_materials #Simulation #Stormwater_management #Thermal_comfort #Ventilation_effectiveness
