The 131,314-sq-ft Center for Built Environment and Infrastructure Studies provides a shared facility for academic engineering and design programs at Morgan State University in Baltimore.

Because the $48-million center emphasizes teaching sustainability practices, several sustainable features were included in the project—even in cases where a LEED point would not be achieved. These include gray-water collection for use in the restrooms only on one side of the building, photovoltaic glass, solar thermal for the domestic hot water, and three bio-retention ponds.
