Randall-Paulson Architects’ Design for MAP International Achieves LEED Silver Designation
MAP (Medical Assistance Programs) International is a faith-based non-profit global health leader with offices in Atlanta and nine countries. The facility, situated on a 16.5 acre site, has 39,820 square feet of warehouse space with a 6,960 square foot mezzanine and 15,420 square feet of offices and conference rooms.
Michael B. Randall, co-founder and principal at Randall-Paulson Architects, said the LEED-AP certified design team specified a variety of energy efficient features, including a project logistics plan that diverted 75 percent of the construction waste away from landfills and into recycling centers.
The owner and design team enlisted University of Georgia landscape design students to help identify native and adaptive plantings creating an attractive and water-efficient landscape that requires no potable water for landscape irrigation. To further reduce the building’s energy footprint, the LEED-AP designers specified white reflective roofing, 100- percent recycled gypsum wallboard and low flow plumbing fixtures, Randall explained.
The project achieved 41 percent water use reduction compared to similar facilities – more than twice the minimum required by LEED Water Efficiency standards. In addition, 20 percent of all construction materials were extracted, processed or manufactured within 500 miles of the construction site – again, double the amount required by LEED standards.
“These seemingly small steps are important ways to reduce client resource costs and champion the cause of U.S. energy independence and environmental sustainability,” Randall said.
Continuing MAP’s ideal of being a good steward to the environment, the building is an educational facility open to the public (by appointment) for tours highlighting aspects of the building and site that are environmentally responsible.
