Cleveland’s Green Building Coalition has teamed with mbi | k2m Architecture, Inc. to offer architecture, interior design, and engineering professionals the opportunity to follow the design and construction process of a USGBC Silver certified green building. The program started with a discussion on the importance of sustainable design and responsible practices in construction and the need for adaptive reuse. The program will continue as a series of workshop discussions and demonstrations through the period of an actual renovation of an existing building and adjacent parking lot in the Ohio City neighborhood. Digital video from the the meetings are available ! Go to the Workshops page.
