At this session, you’ll learn about current sustainability efforts at BSU from Robert J. Koester, AIA LEED AP, a BSU Professor of Architecture. He is also Founding Director of the Center for Energy Research / Education / Service (CERES). Robert will also outline planned sustainability projects, both short-range and long-range.
