MU Foundation Hall

The Marshall University Foundation Hall was built using a number of environmental and energy conservation methods. Below is a list of it’s many green features.

RETURN TO GREEN TRAIL

Green Strategies:

1. Site Selection:
   • Site utilizing close pedestrian and public transit access.
   • No new parking.
   • Built on previously developed site.
2. Composite Ventilated Roof Insulation Panels:
   • Cools shingles in hot weather reduce Heat Island Effect.
   • Shingles contain nearly 90% recycled material.
3. Steel:
   • All steel products contain minimum 25% recycled steel.
4. Demolition Debris:
   • All demolished asphalt parking lot was taken to an appropriate recycling area and diverted from the land fill.
   • No CFC were used.
5. Water and Energy Conservation:
   • Motion sensor faucets.
   • Low-flow flushing.
   • Motion sensor lighting.

Green Materials:

1. Plastic Laminates : Wilson Art
   • All WilsonArt plastic laminates have been awarded GREEN GUARD Indoor Air Quality Certification.
   • Selected laminates are low emitting surfacing materials.
2. Solid Surface Material: Formica
   • Member of the USGBC (U.S. Green Building Council).
3. Masonry: Brick (100% Recyclable)
4. Windows:
   • Glass with Low-E coating reflects most of sun’s rays.
5. Aluminum Storefront System:
   • Glass with Low-E coating reflects most of sun’s rays.
   • Aluminum Frames with thermal break to reduce heat transfer.
6. Gypsum Board:
   • High Mold and Moisture resistance improving Indoor Air Quality.
7. TS fluorescent lamps were used which are smaller in size, reducing manufacturing materials, and shipping impact on transportation costs.
