Pennsbury School District Gets Green (including a “Green Roof”)!

Pennsbury School District in Lower Makefield, PA trusted Spiezle Architectural Group to design an addition and renovation for an adored historic building in need of renewal. Our design responded with a carefully developed aesthetic and LEED™ certification strategy that earned approval and was embraced by the community.

As the project nears completion, one of the key sustainable elements – the green roof – was installed at the end of last summer, as can be seen in the photograph.  This is the first green roof installed as part of a Spiezle project.  We all look forward to seeing the plants grow and be a fully functional green roof in the spring.

Other sustainable features include porous paving, rain garden, outdoor learning courtyard, daylighting and solar panels.  The project will achieve LEED Silver certification within a traditional construction budget.
