MWA ARCHITECTS | 7 <br />Oak Harbor Clean Water Facility <br />oak harbor, wa <br />MWA was the Architect for this new, sustainable, and innova- <br />tive Clean Water Facility in a rural community in Washington . <br />Located within a commercial district on the waterfront, directly <br />adjacent to the celebrated Windjammer Park, the new labora- <br />tory facility serves as a civic asset woven into the community <br />fabric . This project provides a groundbreaking approach to inte- <br />grating economic development, recreational uses, and critical <br />public infrastructure into a sensitive community environment . <br />Incorporating green building technology, the facility engages <br />and contributes to its urban site, while addressing requirements <br />of Washington State’s energy code . The Administration and <br />Maintenance buildings are LEED Silver certified . Harvesting the <br />heating and cooling from the plant processes, the team <br />designed a sustainable system that increases the mechanical <br />efficiency of the buildings and reducing operations costs . <br />To foster inclusiveness, MWA coordinated with the City of Oak <br />Harbor and teaming partners to conduct a multi-year public <br />involvement process . As a result, MWA co-facilitated numer- <br />ous community outreach meetings, established a large <br />Community Advisory Group and a project website to inform <br />and communicate the overall design . <br />key features <br /> »MWA coordinated the needs of multiple stakeholders Naturally lit and tall ceiling laboratory facilities <br /> »Integration of wastewater treatment into urban environment <br /> »MWA coordinated the needs of multiple stakeholders <br />project information <br />Project Team: MWA Architects <br />Project Type: Laboratory, operations, and maintenance <br />building on large campus <br />Size: 3 .25 acres | Building: 68,605 SF <br />Sustainable Elements: LEED Silver Administration Building <br />Client: Carollo Engineers
