 | | Serving as a physical and virtual symbol of the Schools tradition of global service and innovative initiatives, the new building will provide a vibrant center for teaching, research and public dialogue. |
 | | To fulfill the mission of the community to which it is home, this academic building must be capable of supporting sustainable development, social justice, poverty eradication, and peace. |
 | | The strategies currently being explored in the design -- vegetated roof terraces, on-site generation of renewable energy, Cradle-to-Cradle material specifications, and abundant fresh air and daylight -- will be implemented as tools capable of demonstrating and teaching the highest degrees of environmental responsibility for students, staff, and faculty. |
