Academic Buildings

	Mary Cofrin Hall Mary Cofrin Hall is a sustainable design showcase for the Wisconsin Division of Facilities Development and the University of Wisconsin.			Georgina Blach Intermediate School AEC was hired to undertake a whole-building energy analysis and daylight studies using simulation and physical models to recommend energy saving measures, and to reduce energy consumption and costs, and to improve visual and thermal comfort.
	Donald Bren School of Environmental Science and Management One of the first twelve LEED Certified buildings, the Donald Bren School of Environmental Science and Management is an 85,000 square foot, multi-use facility on the University of California, Santa Barbara campus.			Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences The Tahoe Center is based on "best practices" of energy and environmental (sustainable) design, and achieved its sustainable design goal of Platinum under the USGBC's LEED rating system.
	ATLAS Center at the University of Colorado The University of Colorado Student Union passed a capital funding fee in the fall of 2004 requiring that all new buildings on the campus achieve at minimum LEED Silver Certification.			Center for Technology and Learning Media A comprehensive building commissioning process was employed to ensure that all building systems achieved their design intent and met the owner’s expectations.
