Renovated by Hickok Cole to meet net-zero energy standards, the exterior walls have approximately 5,000 bricks salvaged, cleaned, and reused from the original 1994 building. (Photo: Jean & Oliver/Flickr/CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)
Share of materials in the renovation of the American Geophysical Union Headquarters in Washington, DC that was reused: 96%
According to a virtual tour of the AGU Headquarters, the frieze panels that were saved from the original building represent disciplines studied by AGU members, "including space and the planets, the atmosphere, solid Earth and the hydrosphere." (Photo: takomabibelot/Flickr/CC BY 2.0)
