The Looscan Neighborhood Library is HPL’s first “green” library. It was designed from the start using sustainable construction and operating methods to improve environmental quality and will be the City of Houston’s first facility certified by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (L.E.E.D.) Green Building Rating System™. The most visible result of this initiative for customers is beneath their feet. Looscan is the first HPL library that uses recycled rubber flooring throughout most of the building. In this application it looks somewhat like terrazzo, but it is quiet, soft on the feet, and very easy to clean.
