Thanks to the recent launch of the USGBC Center for Green Schools in October 2010, as well as the unfortunate curbing of education funds, there has been a greater emphasis on developing effective models for sustainable, energy-saving public schools in districts around the country. Â Learn how architects are achieving these goals through resourceful case studies that include both new construction and renovation/addition projects in urban and suburban contexts. Â Issues of budget, design, materials, adaptive reuse, processes, neighborhood engagement, and attaining LEED for schools or the equivalent will all be addressed during the topical presentations.
