The Adam Joseph Lewis Center for Environmental Studies, located on the campus of Oberlin College, is one of the most advanced examples of ecological architecture in America. Construction crews completed work on the building in January 2000. The following semester, classes in conservation biology, environment and society, sustainable agriculture, ecological design, environmental education, physical geology, and solar energy were held in the center.[1]
The project's head architect was William McDonough. [2]
The building has received many awards, including One of the 30 Milestone Buildings of the 20th Century, U.S. Department of Energy, William McDonough & Partners One of the Top 10 Green Projects (2002), American Institute of Architects (AIA) Build America Award (2001), National Convention of the Associated Contractors of America, Mosser Construction Build Ohio Award (2000), Associated Contractors of Ohio, Mosser Construction Honor Award (1999), AIA Committee on Architecture and Education, William McDonough & Partners American Architecture Award (1999), Chicago Anthaeum, William McDonough & Partners [3]
