Nonetheless, it's a very impressive structure, which was officially opened on Sunday. This new facility was built almost entirely of material that was procured locally, it makes good use of natural light and ventilation, and all the water coming off the roof of the new structure is collected in a cistern. By some accounts, this is the first truly green, non-residential building in downtown Charleston. I'd be more than happy to have someone correct me about that. Can anyone offer other examples?
