UMass Amherst is a STARS Gold institution that has received numerous awards for its sustainability efforts in higher education.  To celebrate the  physical elements of the campus sustainability achievements, and to inform campus staff, faculty and students how to support green building projects,  Campus Planning and Design & Construction are sponsoring a presentation on Campus Green Building Resources: LEED and Beyond.

Ludmilla Pavlova-Gillham, Senior Campus Planner will review the commitment UMass Amherst has made to sustainable design and construction and the range of sustainability/LEED resources available to campus staff, faculty and students as they work on planning, designing and constructing a sustainable campus.  The presentation will also assist staff in navigating the LEED rating systems, provide an in-depth review of campus-wide programs and practices that support LEED building certification, and will encourage discussion of what additional resources are needed to facilitate on-going renovation and modernization work that supports a green campus.

In order to accommodate participant schedules, the same presentation will be offered on two different dates as follows:

Monday, October 26, 1:00 – 2:30pm in Campus Center 917

Friday, October 30, 9:00 – 10:30am in Campus Center 911
