The W. 65th/EcoVillage Rapid Station is the heart of the Cleveland EcoVillage. The building itseft encourages the use of alternative transportation not only because it is a rapid transit station, but also because of its accessibility to pedestrians and its available bike storage. Efficient radiant heat is used to condition the space in cool weather, while no air conditioning is used in warm weather. Rather, the structure is designed to stay cool even on the warmest days, even while the interior space is flooded with daylight. The project also made efforts to be a good community partner by providing a community garden, using a significant amount of locally produced materials, and by reducing light pollution around the building. While the West 65th Street Rapid Station did not seek LEED Certification, it's use of sustainable building design and products cleared the way for future RTA projects to be green and attempt LEED Certification.
