Dickinson College Constructs Eco-Friendly Building
Putting up new buildings is only normal in most colleges and universities today and apparently much of this is because they are expanding their curriculum. With that in mind, there is no better way to promote and lead by example at how schools now employ the eco-friendly practices when it comes to going green in campus.
The $35.4 million project includes a lighting system with sensors that will dim lights when it is bright outside and shut off the lights when there is no one in the room.
The building will also have a “green roof” in which a rubber mat is placed on the roof with protective layers on top of it with a layer of dirt and seeds. The seeds will grow into flowers, turning the roof into a garden, notably with flowers of Dickinson’s school colors – red and white
