Three historic buildings in York City have been recognized by the Green Building Association of Central Pennsylvania, an organization whose mission is “promote environmentally responsible design, planning, construction, and operation of the built environment through education, outreach and networking.”
The Greenway Tech Centre, an adaptive reuse of the former Eishenlohr Cigar Factory on South George Street, received the Overall Excellence award in the 2008 Design Competition. The building is owned by Crispus Attucks Association and NuTec Design was the architect for the renovation.
The renovation and conversion of the former York County Court House into the York County Administrative Center was also recognized, winning the Energy & Atmosphere Award. Owned by the County of York, the renovation was designed by NuTec Design.
Martin Library, which recently underwent a major renovation and expansion, was acknowledged with a Sustainable Sites Award. LSC Design was the architect for the project.
Of the seven awards, three were for York projects. And while the design awards competition is not specifically for existing or historic buildings, all three local projects were within historic buildings.
