The facility had the unusual mandate to build the structure out of recycled material from a recently demolished warehouse.  Structural highlights include two reconfigured heavy timber trusses and turning existing glulam beams on their sides to create a novel solid wood floor.  The building ultimately achieved 95% recycled content for the new structure and quickly became a beacon of sustainable construction long before the LEED criteria came into effect.
