This new adult training and education center is built within an existing subsidized-living apartment complex. The learning center has a fully-equipped computer training room and multiple classrooms for continuing education.

This facility is designed and will be built in accordance with Austin Energy's Green Building Program. The lighting system incorporates occupancy sensors and daylight switching to minimize energy consumption and the HVAC equipment is an extra high efficiency design and incorprates an energy-recovery module for the ventilation air. The main electric service has an interface for four 2,500 watt photovoltaic (PV) units to be installed on the roof. It is estimated that the PV system will provide 60% of the energy required to power the facility during peak use and peak energy generation. When the center is not in use, the PV system will provide power back to Austin Energy's electical grid.

This existing office building was extensively remodeled to provide individual classroom zoning, consolidation of electrical service, additional plumbing facilities, and all necessary fire-safety systems as required for educational facilities.

This project is a renovation of an existing community center building, located within an existing subsidized-living apartment complex, to provide new classrooms for adult training and education.

The learning center has a fully-equipped computer training room and new activity rooms. The lighting system incorporates occupancy sensors and daylight switching to minimize energy consumption.
