• Aspen Community School in Woody Creek recently was awarded LEED-Gold Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. The K-8 public charter school was designed by Cuningham Group Architecture in collaboration with Studio B Architects.
“Aspen Community is unique among our many LEED schools because of its spectacular setting and the school’s long-standing culture,” said Paul Hutton, Cuningham Group’s principal and chief sustainability officer. “We were able to show them how their building could better reflect their environmental values. We took advantage of the location and maximized daylight distribution inside by increasing our normal window-to-wall ratio through carefully locating and shaping roof monitors.”
