Site Description
The Mount Vernon Library Commons is a new facility that houses the Public Library, Community Center, and the nation’s largest public EV charging station. It is one of the first publicly-bid Passive House projects in the country as well, and designed to meet LEED Silver targets. It also has an embodied-carbon reduction target of 35%, with a special focus on the carbon reduction strategies for the concrete, which reduced the GWP of the concrete by 41%. It opened to the public in August of 2024, and is in the final stages of Commissioning and Closeout – set to be complete in March.
