Parking Lots

Landfill & Water Table
Parking lot Lighting
Concreate Parking Lots (2 kinds of concrete)

Central Parking Lot
Eastern Parking Lot

1. Landfill & Water Table

During the period the factory operated, buildings were continually being built, added on, torn down and replaced (ML & UA)
The debris wasn’t removed
So the whole site has about 4 feet of landfill from various generations of the industrial buildings that were built/ altered/ demolished/ newly built.
Under that is the water table.
Also, in some areas there are artefacts that needed to be preserved (UA)
After 100 years of industrial use, a large part of the site is a brownfield ( alot of heavy metal )

PARKING LOT LIGHTING

Low energy LED fixtures reducing energy use by 85%
equipped with cu-offs and reflectors
no light is directed upward or across the proprty line
helps to keep the sky naturally dark for birds, bats and other living things

Central Parking Lot

The central parking lot is made of concrete, and incorporates stormwater management drainage trenches, planters for trees and wildflowers, as well as LED lighting.

The central parking lot is made of concrete, and incorporates stormwater management drainage trenches, planters for trees and wildflowers, as well as LED lighting.
Concrete was chosen for several reasons, including:

protection of archaeological resources, namely the remnants of old kiln buildings buried below the surface
containment of contaminated subsurface soils and groundwater
minimizing the "heat island" effect by reflecting away as much of the sun's energy as possible
