"Constructed beside the university's Palmer Museum of Art for the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, this four-story building offers design-studio space for 560 students on two floors, as well as a 4,000-square-foot shop for building models. The building was designed to achieve a LEED certification for its environmentally friendly features, including a facade of recycled copper, energy-saving glass, sun-controlled louvers on the building exterior, and a system for limiting storm-water runoff. The building is expected to use 35 percent less energy each year than a conventional structure of similar size. " — Chronicle of Higher Education
