Green Building Symposium Held On Campus |
|
Through
a DEN sponsored forum on October 13th, the Dartmouth Community
had the opportunity to learn from other institutions who have
gone through the process of creating this kind vision for their
buildings. Titled Green Residence Halls: Planning and Process,
the event was attended by several faculty members, students,
alums and some of the college's top brass, including Treasurer
Win Johnson and Associate Provost Margaret Dyer-Chamberlain.
Initial responses from the event have been decidedly positive
and DEN plans to continue to facilitate this dialogue in any
way it can. For more information, read about it in our Fall
2000 Newsletter (pdf) or contact DEN Vice President Dan
LeBlanc (dal@berkshire.net).
