GREEN-BUILDING PROGRAMS—Once
completed
One mission of the Friends Center is be
a show-case for “green” construction
materials, systems and techniques. (Traditional construction methods
in the developed world are one of the largest sources of pollution
and unsustainable uses of resources on the planet.) When construction
is completed, we will have regularly scheduled programs for regional
architects, engineers, developers and contractors with the goal
of inspiring the construction industry to try new, sustainably
produced materials and systems, by showing their advantages and
how they’re used.
