Abstract | As a culture we hold dear social values such as public good, health and well-being, quality of life, diversity, and equity. The focus of this article is how Seattles Central Library, a Silver LEED™ project, integrates social benefit into its design. While LEED provides credit opportunities for some social issues, many are not addressed by the LEED System. The Seattle project provides a rich example of how to integrate a broader range of social sustainability into green design thinking. Issues for consideration include: design to encourage social interaction, accessibility, economic development, cultural arts, and improved staff efficiency and ergonomics. This discussion searches for lessons learned that might inspire the emergence of new LEED credits. |
Design for social sustainability at Seattles central library. On the other hand open office plans can con- tribute to social interaction and communication widely recognized as critical components of work- place collaboration and team problem-solving. Volume Number When I started the Barista Training Program I was living on the streets and getting by day to day. Often hiring a special wayfinding con- sultant is not provided for in project budgets; we have all visited buildings with poor user orientation which can result in confusion if not actually getting lost. The study notes that the Library contributes to Seattles sense of pride and identity as a forward- thinking and exciting place to live work and con- duct business.
