 | From Brown to Green: Virginia Tech’s Ambler Johnston Residence Hall
It’s the end of August in Blacksburg, Va.
The parking lot in front of Ambler Johnston Hall is teeming with over-eager
freshman and their parents. They unload the mini-fridge and the Twin XL bedding
and brace for the walk up five flights in a hot, stuffy stairwell. They reach
the overwhelmingly brown room, and Mom says, trying to sound optimistic, “Well
honey, I guess we can make this look less like a cave. Good thing we bought the
extra light and the bright bedding!”

 | Green Model Shines: USCD Student Academic Services Facility
San Diego’s near
perfect weather year round has inspired many architects and designers to create
facilities that utilize the region’s abundant sun for natural lighting and to
blend indoor spaces with outdoor areas, thus increasing usable space. The
multi-award-winning University of California, San
Diego’s Student Academic Services Facility serves as a
prime example of this principle, as well as a model for sustainable design of
higher education buildings.
