Recognized as one of the Top 10 Green Projects of 2002 by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Committee on the Environment Sustainable Building Strategies: This 200-person residential youth camp facility demonstrates state-of-the-art sustainable design principles. Construction of Camp Arroyo began in September of 1999 with the on-site demolition and recycling of the old foundations. The design incorporates energy efficient design including use of solar energy for water and space heating; durable, resource efficient and recycled-content building materials including straw bale, stabilized earth, sustainably harvested wood, recycled plastic toilet partitions, recycled glass tiles and countertops, recycled newspaper insulation, and wheat straw wall paneling; water conservation measures and on-site alternative wastewater treatment.
