"As far as was possible, the materials used in the building are either recycled whole (such as the doors and hardware, the modular desks and partitions, the roof timbers, framing materials and ceiling boards) or made of recycled content (such as the paints, the glass fiber insulation and the steel roofing and steel lighting fixtures) or organic materials that require little if any "processing" or chemical additives. Examples of organic materials used are: the earth wall (made from material right out of the ground on the property), wool carpeting, slate flooring, linoleum flooring and countertops (linoleum is made of cork, linseed oil, and flax). While this is not a 100% organic building, it is certainly far beyond the normal inour experience."
