Bison Courtyard is a high performance green building, imaginative in design and forward-thinking in philosophy.
It is a dynamic public place that integrates a number of sustainable strategies. It is highly water and energy-efficient. Windows are strategically placed to take full advantage of daylight, and the indoor air quality is exceptional. It is easy for occupants to recycle and compost organic waste.
Quite possibly, Bison Courtyard's greatest success is how well it fits its location. Rooflines rise and fall to match the rhythm of - and preserve sight of - surrounding peaks. The central courtyard gathers people in the same way a river gathers water. And, as you wander around the building, you find a tiny oasis of montane wildflowers, a small aspen grove, a shade garden and a miniature alpine meadow
