Event Details

The Granary

Tour the Granary and see the process for developing a LEED Gold building.

This 16,000 s.f. adaptive re-use project is set on a narrow site bounded by the Union Pacific Railroad and a bourgeoning town.  On this plot, a grain storehouse was abandoned after decades of declination in agricultural industries.  The architects resolved to preserve this piece of the City’s past, while creating a new gateway to the downtown. 

Using LEED™ criteria, the architects focused their efforts on material reuse, energy efficiency, water conservation, and natural lighting and ventilation, while maintaining an awareness of the original structure.

Come experience a free tour of the Granary and learn about the history of the building and the methods the designers used to bring it back to life as a sustainable cornerstone of Morgan Hill's downtown.
