previous / next / 2002 / this project involved the retrofit of an old paint warehouse into a new office space for cornell university's environmental compliance office (eco). the students worked with the employees to conduct the background research necessary to obtain the u.s. green building council's l.e.e.d. (leadership in energy and environmental design) certification. this would have been the first l.e.e.d. building in central new york state. unfortunately, the project was shelved.
