PROGRAM:

The Duke University Water Reuse Pond provides approximately 100 million gallons annually of process water to the University’s Chiller Plant #2, the City of Durham’s largest single water user. McAdams worked with Duke and the design team to use the campus-wide Stormwater Impact Analysis to provide an initial feasibility study and then final design, permitting, and construction.  The pond interconnects with the University’s campus pedestrian plan, re-uses wood from trees harvested from the site, and incorporates the same Duke Stone used on the Chapel and Cameron Indoor Stadium into the spillway system.  The Water Reuse Pond has become a functional destination and completes the vision of a second large pond from the original 1920’s Horace Trumbauer Campus Master Plan, mirroring the Sarah P. Duke Gardens

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1. Participants will investigate sustainable water use for the largest single user in the City of Durham
2. Participants will explore architectural elements of the project in relation to the fabric of Duke’s historic campus
3. Participants will analyze the safety measures for fall protection, engulfment, and maintenance access for the facility
4. Participants will compare the modern day use to the original 1920’s campus master plan
