Project Description

EverGreen Meadow Services (EGMS) is a not-for-profit organization that provides mental health programs and services to support girls who are struggling with the effects of trauma. EverGreen Meadow Academy (opens in new window) is a holistic residential treatment center and middle school located in Rock Hill, Sullivan County, which focuses on nature therapy, food as medicine and animal and farming therapy. Designed to support up to 24 girls at a time, in grades 6-8, who are at risk of self-harm, the academy offers a year-round immersive environment focused on healing, learning and connection. The campus is situated on a 34-acre and will emphasize the strong connection to the site’s existing natural features with three primary buildings including a one-story 15,750 square foot educational building, a one-story 15,050 square foot residential building, and a one-story 2,400 square foot administration building. Designed to meet Passive House standards the project will result in full electronification that will utilize ENERGY STAR® water fixtures, low global warming potential refrigerant, building automation system, energy recovery ventilator and will exclude fossil fuels from building operations and offset on-site energy use with a ground source heat pump and roof mounted and carport solar photovoltaic system.
