Frontier Project

Frontier Project
click photo to enlarge	The Frontier Project was built by the Cucamonga Valley Water District to educate residents, commercial builders, and sustainable advocates regarding the latest methods and technologies in water, energy, and site conservation. It is located in Rancho Cucamonga. I went to see it and photograph the architecture.

By demonstrating to visitors the reasons for choices of systems and materials used throughout the project, visitors will be able to trace the paths of water, energy, people, and resources. For example, storm water runoff from the parking lot will be captured in a water cistern and eventually used for irrigating the site, and placing visible solar panels and strategically shading the site are among the design strategies employed to inform visitors on green systems."

Coughing and blowing their noses to the point where I left. I didn't want to catch whatever they had. The two of them were just a bit more organic then I wanted to get.<grin>
