Tour of the Saddlebrook Joint Use Facility
The result of a collaboration between the Omaha Public Schools, Omaha Public Library and the City of Omaha Parks and Recreation is the creation of a community-based, public-use facility.
The building features a green-roof design. The energy consumption data will be displayed live on a computer in the media center for use as a working lab of environmental sustainability. Outdoor rain gardens help with storm water management. The project is a model of efficiency and partnership for municipalities facing difficult economic times, coupled with increasing demand for library services and other city funded services – all in a single, co-located facility.
Transportation will be provided by bus from the La Vista Conference Center to the site at 14850 Laurel Avenue. Leaving at 5:15 p.m. and returning at 7:45 p.m.
