This session is meant to challenge attendees to document and share the sustainability story of their projects. Not just the successes and achievements at the end of construction, but more importantly, the "why" and "how" of the sustainability story. Far too often Green Education is an afterthought with no line item(s) in the budget. It takes the form of building signage and/or web content left to be completed by the owner after the project is complete. Smith College challenged this approach on their recent renovation to the Neilson Library, a building located in the heart of their campus, designed with the mission of advancing learning and discovery. They decided the most valuable information to share with students, staff, faculty and visitors of Neilson Library was not the final sustainability achievements, but instead the key decisions and conversations during design and construction that influenced those achievements. (The good, the bad and the ugly of those decisions.) Why? To share the story, inform future decision-making on campus, and inspire student research. Smith College, Thornton Tomasetti and Shepley Bulfinch will share their multi-dimensional approach to reflection and sustainability storytelling on the Neilson Library renovation and will challenge attendees to create buildings that make people feel inspired by our industry and driven to make transformational change in their own lives.
