-^ Pre-fabricated plumbing box located inmechanical/storage room •^ Plumbing Distribution: Water comingand leaving the dining/auditoriumbuilding goes through pipes located inthe mechanical/storage room, wherepipes leaving and returning going to thekitchen and restrooms located on eitherside of the mechanical/storage room.Located under the building is a storagetank where the black water goes beforeit goes back to the living machine. •^ Rain Water: Collecting rain water in twocisterns which can each hold 1,500 gals(sized 5’x5’x8’). Using recycled tireroofing only allows for water to be usedright away for fire use and landscaping.When the water gets to a certain level itwill go to the living machine where it willbe recycled and be returned. •^ Supply: For drinking water getting waterfrom the city or on-site well •^ Water Saving Appliances: Theseinclude: spray taps, low flush toilets,and using on-demand water heater,which saves up to 50% of water.These all help in reducing waterconsumption.

To help reduce glare, providingglazing on opposing walls, and adding clerestories to get good even light into the space.Solid Waste (Chutes, collection systems)RecyclablesWASTE: The site has recycling facilities as well as composting facilities located right outside of the kitchen.RefuseWASTE WATER TREATMENT INFRASTRUCTURE: A living machine that reduces water consumption by cleaning and then recycling thewater to be used for irrigation and for flushing toilets, so as to not send any waste water off the site. Placed on compacted soil adjacentto visitor parking, set in greenhouse utilizing recycled glass, heated by wood-fired boiler via bio-fuel power plant with radiant flooring,and connected to well system for back-up.Circulation VerticalstairwaysVERTICAL CIRCULATION: Uses prefabricated timber stairs from reclaimed timber to get on and off deck.MiscellaneousTRIPLE GLAZED ARGON-FILLED WINDOWS: To help keep warm temperatures in.SITE WIDE SERVICES: Trenches and all the initial ground breaking/foundation work done at once such as cisterns.
