Spaceport America
by L.A. on Jun.23, 2009, under everything else
Spaceport America began construction last Friday! the spaceport will host private companies engaging in space travel, like Virgin Galactic. from Arch Daily:
The 110,000-plus square foot facility will use cost-effective, energy-efficient green building practices and will be built to be LEED-certified. From earth-tubes that will pre-condition the air to reduce HVAC costs by 50-70% to solar thermal panels on the roof for hot water to the embedded in-floor loop system, Spaceport America is both unique and iconic in terms of visual and environmental design.
