Week of January 16

   
     For my Capstone project, I have chosen to discover what it takes for any building to become a certified Green Building. This is important to me because this is something that I could see myself doing in my career. There is also no better time than now to get an early start and some exposure to what I may be doing over the course of my career.

     My essential question remains, "How does the Sawnee Mountain Preserve Visitors Center embody an environmentally sustainable building, and what else can be done to obtain a Green Building certification?" I will use a tri-fold poster, or organizing an exhibit, at the building would be the best way to get the information out there.

     My real inquiry will contain interviews with the individuals that had the dream to make this building a Green Building because they will know best what it took and how they made that dream possible. I will also get my information directly from the LEED website, which is the company that actually certifies all Green Buildings. I will continue to ask questions and see where those lead and hopefully they lead to knowledge for me and many people who will see my display.
