Sustainability SUSTAINABILITY Our Team will utilize sustainable design strategies to reduce energy consumption, reduce the use of fossil fuels, reduce water consumption and improve storm water management. Sustainable Sites The project will encourage the use of public mass transportation systems and include bike racks, interior secure bike storage facilities and preferred parking for low-emitting vehicles. A light colored roof will reduce the heat island effect and shielded light fixtures will reduce light pollution. Water Efficiency No potable water will be used for irrigation. Dual flush toilets, low flow lavatory fixtures and shower heads will reduce water use by over 30%. Energy and Atmosphere The buildings will use much less energy than typical structures and will utilize enhanced refrigerant management to reduce ozone depletion. Materials and Resources Our goal will be to have over 95% of construction waste recycled or salvaged, over 20% of all materials will include recycled content, and over 20% of all materials will be sourced regionally. Indoor Environmental Quality Low-emitting materials including sealants, adhesives, paints, coatings, flooring systems and composite wood products will reduce off-gassing. Controllability of lighting and thermal comfort will enhance student control over their indoor environment. Daylight views will allow natural lighting to supplement the high efficiency lighting systems. Innovation and Design Exemplary efforts will enhance construction waste management, views, and open space provisions while a Green Education Program will enhance sustainability awareness. Special consideration will be utilized for critical regional issues identified by the USGBC including sustainable site development and indoor environmental quality.

Executive Summary Downtown Akron Retail Market Analysis / CONFIDENTIAL © Boulevard Strategies, All Rights Reserved, 2014. 03.12.2014 3 Downtown Akron Retail Market Analysis 1. Executive Summary Downtown retail in Akron, like in many other Midwest cities, faces challenging trends. Since the 1980’s, big box superstores have sprawled across the northeast Ohio suburban landscape while total population barely grew. The latest threat is e-commerce, chalking up annual 15% increases year after year. Given this harsh competitive climate, it is not surprising that the number of independent retailers has declined by 14% over the past 10 years in Ohio. On the other hand, there are 5% more independent restaurant operators in Ohio today than 10 years ago. Downtown Akron’s retail mix, almost all independents, reflects this trend with 50 foodservice operators vs. 28 non-food merchants. Downtown Akron Partnership (DAP) and a Special Improvement District were formed in the 1990s by property owners to pool business recruitment, marketing, and other efforts, such as the Downtown Ambassadors Program, launched in 2009 to promote a safe and clean downtown.

The smoothest Wof upgrades can often be problematic, but when you’re upgrading 10-year-old soft- ware and thus skipping several generations, well, let’s just say that “stupid” doesn’t nearly cover it. 2016-2017 Season That’s where we are, though, and the fact that you’re reading this is proof that we’ve survived the process (as we write this, however, that outcome is by no means assured). So let’s just brag up this issue and forget the past week ever happened. We begin with Hair, our cover story by Dodie Miller-Gould and the second-ever pro- duction from Three Rivers Music Theatre, the area’s newest professional actors pro- duction company. Given the state of the world today, reviving this 60s musical seems particularly appropriate. And the songs are impossible to shake once they’re lodged in your brain. Highly recommended. Also from the 60s, but a different bag entirely, are The Osmond Brothers, part of the Foellinger’s summer concert series. Michele DeVinney interviewed Brother Jimmy for her piece that appears on page 5.
