Join us for a tour of the award-winning, LEED Gold-certified Fairfield Area Library. Opened in late 2019, the library is Henrico County's 18th government or school building to earn LEED certification for sustainable design and construction and reduced environmental impact. Encompassing 45,000 SF, it features LED interior and exterior lighting, third-party verification of its mechanical and electrical systems, and long-term energy performance verification. Building materials include sustainably harvested wood, rapidly renewable cork, and low-emitting materials.

The tour will take place before the VAEEC Spring 2023 Forum and will be led by the project's architect firm, Quinn Evans, and Henrico County's Energy Manager, Carrie Webster. Meet us at the Eastern Henrico Recreation Center (across the street) at 10:00 am to walk over with VAEEC staff, or park at the library and meet us at the front doors. Afterward, we will gather at the Eastern Henrico Recreation Center for lunch and networking before the Spring Forum begins.

Registration is free but required to receive a complimentary lunch. Register for the tour on the Spring 2023 Forum registration page.
