Pat's Tap Gastro-Pub
Pat's Tap Gastro-Pub
EOR worked with the owner of Pat's Tap to design a site that satisfies the requirements of both quantity and quality credits of LEED Commercial interiors. The site incorporates a number of green infrastructure facilities. The project not only achieved significant LEED points but helped significantly reduce the owner's stormwater utility fees. The fully developed, urban site utilized underground storage fields under an outdoor patio and a repurposed heating system to store water and irrigate a large Kentucky Coffeetree.

- Innovative tree trench patio
- Bioretention facilities
