Name of the institution’s featured sustainability program, initiative, or accomplishment:
Anne Marie Edward Science Building

A brief description of the institution’s featured program, initiative, or accomplishment:
The building has been conceived with the welfare of its occupants in mind (LEED Gold certification). The first priority was to provide an environment that supports active and engaged learners and nourishes enthusiasm for life-long learning. To contribute to the healthiest environment possible, important factors such as indoor air quality and levels of noise are controlled. Natural light and natural ventilation play a vital role in the life of the building, being present throughout. Furthermore, as the building privileges views outward, occupants will remain in contact with the exterior campus landscape. The central atrium space allows natural air circulation as well as the exhausting of air at the roof level. Operable and user controlled office windows also promote a healthful environment. The building takes advantage of geothermal energy — one of its signature features — to provide heating and cooling for the building, thereby reducing energy consumption, and therefore cost, over the long term.
