This Pro Tour brought 55 attendees together to tour a recently completed PHIUS-certified high school in southern Maine.
The event was hosted by BRIBURN, the architecture firm behind the project. Speakers shared the complexities they navigated while designing this small high school.
The resulting project ultimately exceeded the stringent requirements for energy performance, within the confines of a tight budget and a tight construction schedule while also honoring the special design considerations inherent to Waldorf schools. The team also shared the trials and tribulations that were overcome during the design and construction phases to meet these goals. The hosting company was joined by other project partners, including the builders, who gave attendees insight into specific aspects of the building.
Members of the BRIBURN team led this tour, guiding participants through the campus to investigate specific aspects of the building. The event concluded with a reception and informal Q&A session.
