Best Green Project: RIT Golisano Institute for Sustainability
A late influx of grant money for additional space coupled with evolving client needs created a dynamic design and construction environment for the Rochester Institute of Technology's (RIT) $38-million Golisano Institute for Sustainability. Built under a design-build contract, the 84,000-sq-ft institute is RIT's signature building for the development of sustainable technologies in the manufacturing, transportation and energy industries. It also provides a showcase for green construction and design.
