Sterling College to Build Green Dorms in 2010

摘要

Sterling College in Craftsbury Common, VT, used a $65,000 grant to complete a special topics course titled "Green Dorms," taught by Sterling faculty and a Stowe, VT-based architectural planner in May as the first step to designing its first new student residency in more than 40 years. During the course, the site work was determined and three design schemes were created by three teams of students. Now, with a recent Vermont state grant of $350,000 and the remaining $55,000 Canaday Family Trust grant, as well as other funds, including some matching money from a Department of Energy grant, a Sterling community building committee will begin working with the Cushman Design Group of Stowe, VT, to complete detailed plans and begin construction in March 2010.
