In collaboration with Terence Williams Architect Inc., engaged in the development of sustainability guidelines and sustainability performance targets for the design and construction of buildings on the new West Campus in Palm Springs. The guidelines incorporate industrial ecology principles and go beyond individual buildings to include the surrounding community, to make the campus a net producer of greenhouse gas-neutral energy.
The guidelines resulted in the College receiving the Community College Facility Coalition’s Professional Design Awards in the category of Master Planning, and also the Green Technology Magazine’s Green Colleges Leadership Award in the District Category.
The guidelines go beyond individual buildings to include the surrounding community, in an effort to make the campus a net producer of greenhouse gas-neutral energy.
Farallon was responsible for developing industrial ecology, energy, and greenhouse gas elements of the Integrated Sustainability Guidelines for the West Valley Campus and the Integrated Performance Targets for an Integrated Design Campus Plan.
