greening the U
Greening the U aims to bring the University of Minnesota’s diverse sustainability endeavors into focus, resulting in a single accessible and visually-appealing Knowledge Map that charts the people and places involved in sustainable design at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus. The Green Knowledge Map will show the locations of buildings and landscapes where environmental initiatives are taking place and the personnel responsible. greening the U will make connections between many disciplines at the university, engaging students, staff and faculty in issues of campus sustainability. It is intended to serve as a model to encourage future “greening” efforts both on campus and throughout the region. This project is led by two fellows at the Design Institute: Sarah Birtles and Virajita Singh, adjunct faculty in the College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture and its Center for Sustainable Building Research.
