New Feature: Green Building Photo Album

Every quarter, see a photo album created by the partners that showcases advances in Green Design. This quarter, see shots of our recent trip to Syracuse, NY and the many new initiatives created by the City of Syracuse, Syracuse University, and the Syracuse Center of Excellence!

We had the opportunity to tour not only the brand new Center of Excellence headquarters, but we also got an in depth look at some amazing new buildings and renovations going on in Syracuse's Near West Side neighborhood, home to one of the first LEED-ND neighborhoods in the country.

Special thanks to Ana Fernandez, Brian Key, Dan Queri, Jacob Brown, and Mike Hughes.

The newly renovated Lincoln Supply Warehouse is designed to acheive a LEED Gold rating. While the project requires removing the majority of the 100-year old structural beams, many are being reused to create one of a kind benches elsewhere in the city. The project is slated to be completed in summer 2010.

  1. The Lincoln Supply Warehouse is a fascinating example of historical preservation with a modern, energy-efficient twist. Thanks for sharing these images of structural reuse and reimagination.
