摘要

Sensitivity is the touchstone for a new Museum of Northern Arizona campus anchor under construction in Flagstaff, Response to environment, climate and unusual esoteric elements drawn from native cultures drove design of the new 5.2 million dollars Easton Collections Center, which will house the museum's collection of anthropological, geological, biological and fine art pieces. Expected to achieve LEED platinum certification, the 17,280-sq-ft structure was designed to serve the museum's multi-faceted mission by incorporating research and connections to Colorado Plateau cultures and environment, says architect James Roberts, principal with Roberts Jones Associates, located in Phoenix. Its high-level LEED achievement is incidental to its practical goals, he says.
