Chatham celebrates openings

Posted on September 22, 2010 by Staff

More than 300 residents joined with officials from Chatham County and Central Carolina Community College (CCCC) at a ribbon cutting and open house on Monday celebrating the new Chatham Community Library and the Sustainable Technologies Building on the CCCC campus in Pittsboro.

The 25,000-square-foot library will serve county residents and CCCC students and features extensive daylighting.

The Sustainable Technologies Center houses CCCC’s nationally recognized green education programs, including biofuels production, green building/renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, ecotourism and organic culinary arts. The building features a low-maintenance roof with vegetation (sedum), which reduces interior heat and decreases water runoff.

Both buildings are on track to receive LEED Gold Certification from the U.S. Building Council.
