Building Green

Nine10Arts is a wonderful example of the environmental, economic, and social benefits of green building.  That’s why we’re so excited about having you visit our gathering place for art and ideas where people of all ages can learn, grow, and share their creative abilities.

Spector and Associates, the architect and entrepreneur of Nine10Arts, wanted not just to construct a green building.  They wanted to positively impact the social environment; to raise expectations by including the well-being of people, rather than solely focusing on natural resources and the built environment.  How can you achieve more with your built environment, to construct a building that is far beyond just being green? You need a “perfect” mix of architecture, engineering, economics, ethics and creativity.  Any innovation requires that you first identify and understand the problems.  Determine what is not working, and solve the problem by changing the system, spreading the solution, and persuading others to take new approaches to traditional methods.

Nine10Arts integrates the above-mentioned issues to optimize the community within and without the built environment. Some of the “beyond green” aspects included social investing, collaboration with local organizations, training for minorities, green building education and awareness for youth (especially on recycling and reuse) and providing opportunities for locals to participate in creating the building and community.

Nine10Arts is not just a building or a place, it is a creative community of artists committed to sharing their works and their passion for their art with each other and the public, it is truly an “experience”.
