A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
EMU utilizes a design-build process for new construction and major renovations which keeps everyone on the same page and has created strong ties over the last two decades between the same group of contractors, the school and the architects. The architect, Troyer Associates, has been working to design innovative green buildings for EMU that would have passed LEED basic certification since the mid 80s. Being such a small school, the Director and Associate Director of Physical Plant are both very involved in the design and construction phases.
