Wampanoag Tribal Building on Martha's Vineyard
A pioneer in nutrient recovery from human waste
The new Wampanoag Tribal Headquarters has implemented a remarkable array of environmentally sound features. The building requires very little operating energy, treats all human waste and wastewater as a resource, utilizes many recycled-content and resource-efficient materials, minimizes site impact and offers a comfortable and healthy indoor environment.
All these features are thoroughly integrated thanks to careful and detailed cooperation between members of the design team right from the beginning of the design process.
