As the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law prepares for its transition to Arizona State University’s downtown Phoenix campus, the university aims to construct a LEED-certified building to house the college that will put energy conservation on the forefront of students’ minds.
“Building sustainably is a moral imperative,” said lead architect Tomas Rossant. “If a student can discover what sustainability means and find it as an imperative while they are studying here, it is a form of education itself.”
Rossant, a design partner with Ennead Architects, said the sustainability of the building is integrated into its design and comes from features that might go unseen by a visitor.
