The Wampanoag Tribal Multi-Purpose Building serves as an administrative, educational, and social center for the Wampanoag tribe, which has inhabited Martha's Vineyard for hundreds of years. This building, the first built by the tribe in hundreds of years, establishes a precedent for what may become a Wampanoag design style. Rather than imitate their traditional curved building form, which is inappropriate for today's needs, the Tribe chose a design approach that embodies the traditional Native American belief system of interdependence and respect for nature. #Airtightness #Benign_materials #Cogeneration #Connection_to_outdoors #Daylighting #department_of_energy #DOE #Efficient_lighting #energy_efficient #Glazing #Graywater #Green_specifications #HVAC #Integrated_team #Massing_and_orientation #Natural_ventilation #Occupant_recycling #Operations_and_maintenance #Passive_solar #Recycled_materials #Salvaged_materials #Simulation #Thermal_comfort #Ventilation_effectiveness #Wastewater_treatment
