Background:
The idea of the Sustainable Shuttle Stop was originated by a group
of ESW students during the 2006 winter quarter, during which time
the initial design was developed. This design incorporated various
environmentally benign building materials into an aesthetically
appealing structure. The initial shelter design was submitted
at the end of the 05/06 academic year.
Modifications
were made following recommendations from the Facilities Management
staff (FM). These modifications were incorporated into the second
version of the Sustainable Shuttle Stop by a group of independent
study students during the 2006 fall quarter. This design has been
submitted to the FM and is awaiting approval from the committee.
Design Highlights:
- Recycled plastic paneling
- Recycled plastic lumber bench
- Recycled steel framing
- Fly-ash concrete foundation
- Solar powered lighting
