      1. Seventh College Apartments

         The Seventh College Apartments, which are LEED Gold certified, have many energy and water efficient features, such as:

         • Solar-heated showers and “wind scoops” that pull in Pacific breezes to help cool the apartments.  

         • Non-potable “recycled” water that nourishes native outdoor plants through an efficient drip-irrigation system.

         • Plaster, paving, carpet and metal wall studs that are made from recycled material.
