Eco Schoolhouse
Columbia, Mo.
Rated LEED Gold by the U.S. Green Building Council, the Eco Schoolhouse at Grant Elementary is the most energy-efficient school building in Columbia, Missouri.
After a classroom trailer was devastated by fire, Nick Peckham (then of Peckham & Wright Architects) designed the Eco Schoolhouse as a gift.
Nick coordinated donations of time, money and supplies from local engineers, contractors, suppliers and volunteers to complete the project, which opened in 2008.
The Eco Schoolhouse demonstrates conservation, recycling and environmental awareness.
All materials were produced locally, with the farthest source just outside Jefferson City.
The building's heating, cooling and electricity cost less than $400 per year.
