Kiowa County Commons




Currently under construction, the building in Greensburg, KS has been designed to LEED Platinum standards. This 20,210-square-foot building includes the Greensburg branch of the Kiowa County Public Library, the Kiowa County K-State Research and Extension Office, the Kiowa County Historical Museum and the Greensburg/Kiowa County Community Media Center. The Media Center will allow area residents to film, edit and distribute media, such as high school sports events and local news, through WiFi and public access television using state-of-the-art equipment. The TV Studio was designed with a concrete lid so it serves as a storm shelter for the facility. The design includes a vegetative roof system using native vegetation, roof-mounted photovoltaic cells, high-performance lighting and controls, an enhanced mechanical system, stormwater runoff collection system and water-efficient landscaping. Rainwater is recirculated through a water feature in the courtyard, which also serves as an educational tool illustrating water reuse systems.
