This article discusses how Watkinson School head John Bracker was able to accomplish the school's plan of having a new science building that would meet all of their needs: innovative building that offers a range of eco-friendly features, an inspiring learning environment, and even better, the right price. Bracker contemplates on a structure that would underscore the science curriculum to be taught in the new classrooms: "the idea of the building as a teaching tool and not just a building." Bracker happened to meet his old college roommate, Mark Miller, a pioneer in the eco-friendly modular building market. Modular--also known as prefabricated--classrooms have been around for some time now. These next-generation structures don't look or feel anything like trailers: Think abundant natural light, great air quality--thanks to low amounts of potentially toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--and insulation that improves acoustics and keeps students toasty with minimal heating. In January 2010, the school opened its new Center for Science and Global Citizenship. The energy-neutral building--producing at least as much energy as it consumes--is outfitted with 60 solar panels that will generate enough electricity to power the structure, with perhaps a surplus.
