Rochelle Owen, director of the Office of Sustainability, and Jeff Lamb, assistant vice-president of Facilities Management, talk about the thinking that went into the Mona Campbell Building, ±«Óãtv's newest academic building located at the corner of LeMarchant Street and Coburg Road.
Some of the building's green features include: bike racks on the perimeter of the building and in the basement; a cistern to collect nonpotable water; 85 heat pumps to recirculate heat from different parts of the building; high-efficiency lighting with sensors that detect when a room is in use or not; "Bubbledeck" technology used during construction; and a green roof.
"It's important for student to know that we are not only talking about sustainability, that we're actually doing something about sustainability," says Tarah Wright, associate director of ±«Óãtv's College of Sustainability.
