Carl Fields Center
Princeton University:
The project restores the Elm Club, an Italianate-style landmark constructed in 1890, and juxtaposes it with a contemporary addition, collectively creating spaces for new events and programs in conjunction with the Centre’s academic and community services.
The Center is located at 58 Prospect Avenue and features Spray Foam Insulation, upgraded HVAC, electrical, and fire safety systems. ABA specified numerous sustainable design features equivalent to the LEED Silver level, though it’s unclear whether the university will pursue a formal rating from USGBC.
The installation of the spray foam conformed to all the irregular spaced wall stud cavities sealing all the voids that would have occurred with other insulation materials. This eliminated the infiltration of outdoor noise and air which achieved the goal of providing the home owner with a quieter, healthier and more energy efficient home. ASI has worked with the General Contractor, WS Cumby, on multiple LEED projects that have also incorporated ICYNENE spray foam as the preferred insulation system.
