The design uses sustain- able strategies in site, water, energy, materials, healthy environments and quality of experience to create a building that is a teaching tool. The project achieved LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. DLR Group's design provides young students with a healthy, energizing and safe learning environ- ment. Extensive glazing maintains experiential connections to the site and surrounding landscape. All classrooms are daylit, and 75 percent of the building is naturally daylit via windows and skylights. The building's integration with the site creates outdoor learning areas, including a roof garden and rain garden. The second-level roof garden offers structured outdoor learning opportunities. Three planters provide planting areas for each grade level. Students and visitors learn about natural water filtration processes, the importance of site per- meability and the relationship of landscape to water quality and balance. The rain garden also plays on cultural heritage. Its design is rooted in the Chinook language definition of "Scappoose:" gravely plains or rocky creek. Educational signage explaining functions and benefits of the sustainable features at Petersen Elementary School promotes global citizenship to students and visitors every day.
