When officials in Arlington, Virginia, initiated a project to revitalize Lubber Run Park\u2014the county\u2019s first, established in 1942\u2014their first instinct was to maintain its green space. To achieve this, they wanted to place a new community center at the periphery of the site, separating the structure from natural areas. However, a process of community engagement and mapping site usage, including trails, indoor activities, play areas, and outdoor sports, led project architects VMDO to take the opposite approach. They proposed a design which placed the new Lubber Run Community Center at the heart of the green space.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

\u201cArlington is a very involved community. They wanted a say in how this [project] was developed. It was also important to bring neighbors and residents along with us on this journey,\u201d says Nina Comiskey, VMDO associate. \u201cThe engagement process led to a design that integrates the center and the park; bringing nature into the building so it can be enjoyed by people of all different ages and abilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

To maintain the green space as a park, the project team designed a structure that would integrate with the adjacent stream and woodlands. The project features a low-slung profile and a green roof, easing the transition between the built environment and its natural surroundings. The material palette, including wood beams, copper panels, and exposed concrete walls, gives the facility an elemental appearance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe found people responded to materials that are more natural in appearance and are intrinsic to themselves, like concrete, copper, and wood,\u201d says Comiskey. They wanted materials that would \u201cage naturally and change over time, minimizing paints and finishes. Copper fit that bill perfectly, so when the contractor asked us what element we really wanted to keep [during the budgeting process], we said the copper.\u201d Copper\u2019s inherent resistance to corrosion and natural weathering contributes to its long product life, reducing the need for periodic painting or other maintenance efforts often required with less resilient materials.<\/p>\n

The center\u2019s understated aesthetic belies a building that delivers high performance, achieving net-zero status with a sophisticated combination of sustainable systems and materials. \u201cThe project is designed to meet 100 percent of its energy needs through on-site renewable generation and is \u2018net-zero-ready,\u2019\u201d according to VMDO. \u201cThis is accomplished through passive strategies, such as proper orientation, reduced window\/wall ratios, daylighting, shading, and a high-performance envelope); and active strategies, such as geothermal heat pump systems for heating, cooling and domestic hot water, high efficiency lighting, and dedicated outdoor air systems with heat recovery; and renewables.\u201d Structural walls employ a composite of concrete and insulation materials to deliver improved thermal performance.<\/p>\n

Geothermal heat pumps linked to 20 ground-source water loops reduce the building\u2019s energy usage. Roller shades in the offices and across the south facade control glare and reduce solar heat gain. Along with the vertical standing-seam copper cladding, the rainscreen facade includes thermal break Z furring with more than 114.3-mm (4.5-in.) of insulation, contributing to the community center’s overall energy efficiency.<\/p>\n

The copper panels not only boost the resilience and energy efficiency of the building envelope, but they also enhance the overall exterior aesthetics and the beauty of the design.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking at the massing of the building, we wanted the copper to move across the north facade but there were windows there. To keep the views, we perforated some of the panels,\u201d explained Comiskey. \u201cI was surprised how open it is when you look from the interior. You can even see trees across the street.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other building elements include about 304.8 mm (12 in.) of polystyrene geofoam above the garage which create grading without excessive weight loads, reducing the concrete needed to maintain structural integrity. An efficient water-management system that collects and filters stormwater for use in irrigation was added as well, and wood paneling and other interior elements made from trees which were cut down during construction. Further, structural walls that employ a composite of concrete and insulation materials to deliver improved thermal performance, and roller shades in the offices and across the south facade to control glare and reduce solar heat gain. All these design elements contribute uniformly to the sustainability of this building.<\/p>\n

The Center\u2019s holistic design and advanced performance earned itself wide recognition, including a \u201cbest project\u201d citation from the Engineering News Record2<\/sup> and a North American Copper in Architecture (NACIA) award from the Copper Development Association (CDA).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

\u201cThe Lubber Run Center not only delivers a high level of sustainability, but also has design features that fit the location and use extraordinarily well,\u201d says Andy Kireta, CDA president and CEO. \u201cThe judges particularly recognize how the copper facade panels will oxidize naturally from brown to green over time, helping them integrate even more into the surrounding park.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since the building opened, Comiskey says one of the most gratifying aspects of the project has been the positive reactions they have received from Arlington residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is great how much the community loves the facility,\u201d says Comiskey. \u201cAt the beginning, some of them said \u2018You\u2019re going to ruin our park,\u2019 but now they are using it, they tell us \u2018Wow, we love this,\u2019\u2014this is the best testimony. People are loving how the building just fits with the park.\u201d<\/p>\n
