Our Campus
What Makes Rawson "Green"
- The exterior's fiber-cement siding resists rotting and is a noncombustible substitute for wood.
- Rain barrels reduce rooftop run-off and store rainwater for our lawns and Organic Garden and Learning Center.
- The exterior recycled wood trim is "harvested" from old barns, homes, mills and other structures.
- Other recycled materials were used for plastic lumber decking, fiber glass insulation, plastic laminate, and even the nails and fasteners for construction.
- Interior paint and cork flooring are low-odor products that contain no dyes or artificial colors from the manufacturing process and no ozone depleting chemicals.
- Energy Star efficient appliances, motion sensor switches, infrared sensor faucets, and vapor barrier electrical boxes conserve both energy and fiscal resources.
