Christopher Field shows energy-efficient features of new Global Ecology building
On April 12, the Carnegie Institution dedicated a new, environmentally innovative building on campus to house its Global Ecology Department, established in 2002 for interdisciplinary study of Earth’s ecosystems. Built to last a century, the $5.5 million facility maximizes energy efficiency, minimizes waste and uses recycled materials – including redwood siding from 100-year-old wine barrels and crumbled concrete from other buildings.
