Dow Center for Youth

Location: Sarnia, ON

Size: 14 000 sf

Year Completed: 2009

Description: This new community centre for youth was designed to serve two different Canadian youth organizations, so it has two distinct wings which share a common courtyard.  It is a LEED silver building.  Natural materials were used in the construction and in the interior finishes.

"The fact that the Dow Centre met its sustainability goals while coming in 10% under budget should encourage others to aim for high energy and environmental performance for their new buildings." -HPNC Read more here
