Living Building Challenge Services Director Chris Hellstern will be a panelist for “Building a Sustainable Future: Intersections of Energy, Infrastructure, Student and Community Engagement in Campus Design with Global Reach” at the Washington & Oregon Higher Education Sustainability Conference (WOHESC).
Session details:
Building a more sustainable future has many facets, from innovative building design, creating resilient infrastructure, to creating equitable and inclusive communities. Dave Karlsgodt, Host of the Campus Energy and Sustainability Podcast, will explore the intersections of energy, infrastructure, and society as well as the catalytic role our higher education institutions will play in creating this future. Learn how the ongoing construction of the University of Washington’s 300,000 square foot Population Health Facility, a space for interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation toward global population health solutions, joined university and design teams in extensive outreach and collaboration involving faculty, student groups and medical professionals to help design sustainability features of the building, and worked with student and community groups to design a building that best serves its campus in an effort to achieve these goals.
The session includes a podcast recording.
Other panelists will include David Karlsgodt, Principal, Fovea, LLC and Host, Campus Energy and Sustainability Podcast; Chris Meek, Associate, Professor of Architecture, University of Washington; Devin Kleiner, Project Architect, Senior Associate, Perkins+Will; Kyle McDermott, Campus Sustainability Fund (CSF) Coordinator, University of Washington Sustainability.
