Sustainable Community Building Design
Human communities represent diverse people with diverse beliefs, needs, preferences, and resources. Designing a community building to address this diversity within the constraints of budgets, resources, land availability and intent presents a challenge.
Located in Central Pennsylvania, Robert A. Lack, AIA, Architecture & Design, Inc., specializes in creating buildings for communities that use strategies to sustain the health and well being of people and to conserve valuable and costly resources.

What is LEED?
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance Green buildings. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: Sustainable Site Development, Water Savings, Energy Efficiency, Materials Selection, and Indoor Environmental Quality.
We can help you design a community center that…
- Conserves energy to reduce costs and minimize environmental impacts;
- Incorporates low flow water fixtures and maximizes surface flow irrigation and waste water management;
- Blends the building with its natural setting by effective use of hardscape and parking facilities;
- Ensures accessibility for all major spaces; and
- Meets the demands of the present with a flexible design for future growth.
Our team of seasoned professionals and young talent bring not only design talent but experience in seeking funding to help your group move from vision to reality.
