Designing a Green Campus: Discussion Supper with
IUB's New Director of Sustainability Bill Brown

Tuesday, April 14, 2009 * 5-6:30 p.m. * New HHC Building (811 E. Seventh St.) * SIGN-UP REQUIRED

Considered "a leading Indiana figure in the design and construction of environmentally sustainable buildings," Bill Brown has been aiming to design futureproof buildings, net zero energy buildings, buildings that are disaster-resistant, buildings with vegetative roofs, buildings sheltered by the earth. As the new director of sustainability for the IU Bloomington campus, he has been challenged to make IU "a national leader in campus sustainability" and to integrate "principles of environmental sustainability into all aspects of campus operations and academic life." Are those goals possible on a campus this old and this big? He has said he needs everyone's help, from freshmen to alums, to get the job done.

How will the new Master Plan affect campus sustainability? Will IU expand transportation options? What role can students play? Bill Brown will open with brief comments, but will leave plenty of time for your questions and suggestions!

Whether or not you are able to attend the supper, you are invited to attend a panel discussion that same evening on "Global Perspectives on Sustainability" at 7 p.m. in State Room East of the IMU. The panel discussion is free and open to the public.

These events are part of SustainIU, 10 days of events focusing attention on issues of social, economic, and environmental sustainability.
