Project 6: The Kenwood Community Cultural Ground, Spring 2008 Over $61,000 We will be building two restrooms using straw bale construction techniques with composting toilets, and rainwater catchment and greywater systems. The building will be wheelchair accessible, according to ADA guidelines. The rainwater collection system will catch a sufficient amount of water from the roof to supply the two bathroom sinks and traditional gardens. The greywater drainage from the bathroom sink will eventually provide irrigation for a basketry garden containing plants used for construction and dyes for Cherokee baskets. The compost and fertilizer from the toilets, when properly processed, will be used to amend the soil in the same gardens after the training, and construction of the buildings are complete. Kitchen / Pavilion Phase: We will also be building a large structure for cooking, serving and dining, and for Language and Culture classes. This building will also utilize environmentally friendly systems including; solar powered lights, a solar powered fridge, rainwater catchment system, sand filtration system, greywater system, and solar water pump. We will also be using straw bale building methods to construct this building. Rainwater Catchment and Greywater Systems The roofs from the restrooms and cook shack pavilion will each be used as collecting surfaces for all of the water needs of the sinks in the two bathrooms and kitchen throughout the dry season. Training participants will learn about and construct a greywater and rainwater catchment system from the refuse water out of the sinks into the future garden area. Infrastructure Phase: Roads – pavement/graveling of the roads Exiting Kenwood Road to the Cultural Ground is currently dirt, narrow (only one car can go in any one direction) and the incline/grade is steep at one point. To address the accessibility and the passage of automobiles or other vehicles (R.V., etc) the road should be paved to the top. From the top of the hill to the cultural ground the use of gravel is suitable. This project will also be a training opportunity for others interested in learning about Environmental planning and building techniques. |
