Heifer International
Nothing like it had ever been built in Arkansas but that didn’t stop them. When it came time for Heifer to build their new international headquarters in downtown Little Rock, they decided to go green with a concept and design that would work with the environment rather than against it. The orientation of the building and its simple curve help it capture sunlight which reduces the need for artificial light inside. The angled roof gathers rainwater which is held in a tower and distributed to the restrooms. The gravel parking lot filters oil and other fluids that drip from cars. Wetlands that surround the building hold water used to irrigate other trees and plants on site. Heifer International proves that stewardship of our natural resources is an individual effort and that an individual effort can make a difference.
