Our Lady of the Sacred Heart High School - Felician Sisters

As followers of Saint Francis of Assisi, the Patron Saint of the Environment, the Sisters were strongly committed to the environmentally responsible renovation of their 300-student high school, while preserving its historic architectural character. A 28% reduction in energy consumption was achieved through heat recovery from exhaust air, individual controls in each classroom, and recycled roof water used in the evaporative cooler. Most remarkable was the reuse of materials 300 doors and an acre of hardwood flooring, trim and cabinetry were reused from the existing school. The project achieved a LEED Gold certification.
