There are many opportunities with the rear gardens
to improve the sustainability of the facility. Our
landscape group has a good handle on this (See
Landscape).
Rain gardens and bioswales located strategically
through the gardens will reduce the runoff and
improve ground infiltration.
Rainwater storage areas can be used for irrigation in
conjunction with any water salvaged from the Annex.
Community gardens for vegetables will be
incorporated into the layouts.
Shaded areas will be designed and enhanced for
natural cooling and ventilation.
There could also be some possibilities for ground
mounted photovoltaic solar panels. These could
double as shading devices, especially over any open
parking areas.
