Kaiser Borsari Hall
The internationally acclaimed sustainable design expert, Jason F. McLennan, is guiding the net-zero energy/zero carbon design strategy for the building. The building will be a "smart building", exceed LEED standards for energy use, carbon, and other environmental indicators, and will pursue certification through the International Living Future Institute. As the region’s only carbon neutral academic facility, and one of only a handful in the nation, Kaiser Borsari Hall will significantly advance Western’s vision to become the region’s first carbon neutral university campus. The 54,000 square foot building will house the university’s computer engineering, energy science, and computer science programs.
