How Should the Sustainability Movement Change Campus Planning and Architecture?

Thursday, October 18, 12 noon, U.S. Eastern time

Going "green" means more than turning down thermostats in unused classrooms and recycling old plastic bottles. As a small but growing cadre of colleges are discovering, it often requires a fundamental rethinking of how campuses are laid out and how new buildings are designed (and existing ones refurbished). Going "green" also requires fresh approaches to issues like parking, transportation, and even how students get and dispose of their dining-hall food. Campus planners and architects, some of whom shared their thoughts on sustainability last year in a roundtable discussion with The Chronicle, are playing an increasingly visible role in guiding those changes.
