Building Profile: Adam Joseph Lewis Center for Environmental Studies

"Is it possible to design buildings so well and so carefully that they do not cast a long ecological shadow over the future that our students will inherit?  We now know that such things are possible - that buildings can be designed to give more than they take."  

- David W. Orr

This is the design philosophy behind the Adam Joseph Lewis Center for Environmental Studies at Oberlin College in Ohio.  They have optimized the building performance through a variety of design strategies, and they continue to test, and adjust the environmental systems, to ensure the highest performance standards possible.
