Living Building Challenge: Health + Happiness | Designing a Library for People & Nature

Sustainability isn’t just about buildings—it’s about people.

The Health + Happiness Petal focuses on creating environments that promote well-being, daylight, and connection to nature.

At the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, visitors and staff experience abundant natural light, access to outdoor trails, and spaces designed to encourage movement, exploration, and reflection.

Located in the heart of the Badlands, the Library invites people to reconnect with the landscape that shaped Theodore Roosevelt’s love of the outdoors.
