P a g e 16 o f 2 3 <br />Criterion 2 - Emissions Reduced <br />19. Please describe any <br />other aspect of your <br />project that is relevant to <br />Social Justice and Racial <br />Equity: <br />As The ArtsCenter progressed deeper into this project, they switched <br />architecture firms and engaged with EVOKE. TAC was impressed with <br />EVOKE’s commitment to employee BIPOC architects. EVOKE’s past <br />projects showed a connection to community. A big part of EVOKE’s <br />process is to engage the community and incorporate those discussions <br />into the design, creating true community centers. Their website explains <br />their philosophy: <br />Architecture—the tactile manifestation of narratives—serves as a <br />powerful amplifier of societal priorities, beliefs and aspirations by <br />preserving the past, reiterating the present and signifying the future. At <br />EVOKE, we rely on the communicative power of architecture to unearth, <br />perpetuate and translate your project’s enduring message into a <br />remarkable, bespoke design. <br />EVOKE’s understanding of how a building can encourage and promote <br />change, to create a place of belonging and community, made this a <br />winning partnership. <br />Likewise, when choosing an engineer, Coulter Jewell Thames was a <br />natural choice. A dense and unique community, Carrboro poses many <br />challenges in constructing a new building. Coulter Jewell Thames has <br />decades of experience working in Carrboro and understands the <br />community’s dedication to the environment and creating a welcoming <br />town where everyone “Feels Free” to be themselves, <br />EVOKE, Coulter Jewell Thames and The ArtsCenter have engaged in a <br />unique partnership that will deliver the town a community center that is <br />inclusive, accessible and respectful of the earth it is built upon. <br /> <br /> <br />20.

Feel free to submit <br />in a separate document if <br />clearly labelled: <br />According to the architects and general contractor, this project is <br />not at a point at which they can determine what the reduction of <br />greenhouse gas emissions will be with the implementation of this <br />proposed project. Until the project is further along, this number <br />cannot be calculated. <br />21.
