Building "Green" at Colleges and Universities Presenter(s): Allan Daly, Taylor Engineering; Carl Elefante and Michael L. Quinn, Quinn Evans Architects
Colleges and universities are long-term owners and operators of buildings and campus complexes and are ideal laboratories for sustainable, or "green," development. Answerable to both regents and students, many college and university planners are under pressure to improve the environmental performance of their institutions. This workshop introduces both the theory and practice of green building and development. The workshop will provide an overview of sustainable development, introducing water quality, air quality, and natural resource, energy, and environmental health issues. Their relevance to colleges and universities will be demonstrated in a variety of contexts from long-term campus planning to the design, construction, and operation of individual buildings. Detailed presentations will include land use and infrastructure, site and landscape, building design and construction, building renovation and adaptation, green materials and systems, building operation and monitoring, and the USGBC's LEEDTM Rating System. Allan Daly from Taylor Engineering was project engineer for green renovation of the S. T. Dana building at the University of Michigan. Carl Elefante from Quinn Evans Architects served as cochair of the President's Council for Sustainable Development. Michael L. Quinn is founding principle of Quinn Evans Architects and serves on the Federal Design Excellence jury. |

Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well. |
