Millvale, Etna, and Sharpsburg are three rivertown communities whose pursuits of district scale sustainability brought them together as a multi municipal ecodistrict to pool their forces.
evolveEA's relationship with Grow Pittsburgh goes back over ten years and includes several engagements across our strategy, planning, and architectural design services.
Starting with the imperative of controlling rainwater flow, evolveEA's interdisciplinary approach to the Ice House Building Courtyard included landscape design, hardscaping, roofing, plumbing, green roof and structural elements for the public art space.
The Murdoch Building at Forbes and Coltart is the first commercial office space to be newly built in Oakland in nearly a decade. Certified as LEED Gold for Core and Shell, the building provides a high-quality workplace through an energy-efficient building envelope, efficient and controllable HVAC and lighting systems, and indoor air quality management.
In 2017, evolveEA led a refresh of the Greenways for Pittsburgh plan first developed in 1980. Through extensive research, community engagement, a review of existing greenway programs, and a series of workshops with various City Departments, the team developed a policy guide with recommendations to improve policies around the stewardship, design, development, and management of greenways in the City.
