Small Friends is a 7,000 square foot learning center on Nantucket. It was designed as a LEED-certified building using Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPs), which are essentially a sandwich of two sheets of plywood with a foam-insulated core. By covering the roof with SIPs, the building achieved an R-40+ insulation rating. This was Watson Construction’s first foray into “green” building.
