The Scranton Community Center for the Arts was a project entry for the 2022 COTE Design Competition. This competition recognizes projects which integrate health, sustainability, equity, and the AIA Framework for Design Excellence into the design of their buildings.

Located in downtown Scranton, PA, the design intent of this center was to provide a space for community enrichent through the arts. The building consists of a theatre, library, gallery spaces, cafe, classrooms, and study rooms. The center utilizes water tubes which line the exterior walls and collect rain and snow. This water is stored in the tubes and used as a thermal mass providing passive heating and cooling throughout the building.
