BestMastersDegrees.com Names 50 Most Impressive Environmentally
Friendly University Buildings
PHILADELPHIA, April 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A new web article by Best
Masters Degrees puts 50 of the world's most sustainable university
buildings in the spotlight. "The 50 Most Impressive Environmentally
Friendly University Buildings" in the article were hand-picked for
their eco-friendly features including engineering, architecture,
design and qualities of sustainability. Environmentally sound
university buildings typically consume far less energy and afford
better sanitary conditions than older buildings.
These facilities have earned considerable industry honors for
excellence in architectural and green design. Awarding agencies
include the AIA (American Institute of Architects), BPN
Sustainability, and the United States Green Building Council (USGBC
LEED).
All of the buildings exhibit characteristics of aesthetic appeal as
well as sustainability. They range from a university science lab in
Pittsburgh made of 94% recycled materials to a park-like, six-story,
underground university building in Seoul, South Korea.
"These universities are showing themselves to be leaders when it comes
to beauty and sustainability on campus," said editor Marianna Chara.
"The value to students can be tremendous."
Following is the list of "The 50 Most Impressive Environmentally
Friendly University Buildings" and the architects who created them, as
featured on the website Best Masters Degrees.com. The complete
write-up can be found at
