Join AFO in kicking off our first Community Event of 2022! This event will include a guided tour of the PAE Living Building and mingling with light snacks/refreshments. Anyone interested in design, engineering, and sustainability in the built environment will enjoy learning more about this incredible achievement.

The Living Building Challenge is a certification program that goes beyond sustainability or emission reduction and envisions a regenerative built environment that functions in the same way as a living organism.

The PAE Living Building is the world’s first developer-driven Living Building. It demonstrates replicable and cost-effective solutions to our planet’s energy and resource challenges, such as a closed-loop water system with on-site collection and treatment, efficient photovoltaic-battery storage systems, and urinal-to-fertilizer systems.

COVID: We will follow the state/local/federal guidelines on masking. Due to federal policy, all participants who enter the building must be fully vaccinated. We appreciate your cooperation and welcome any questions.

Accessibility: There are ADA-accessible restrooms on every floor. All restrooms are gender-neutral and individual. There are no stairs to enter the building and the elevator is accessible in the main lobby.

The building is within 5 minutes walking distance of MAX and bus stops. For parking, street parking and surface lots are available around the building. All the sidewalks have ramps.

We strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully. Please describe any accessibility concerns or questions in your registration form.
