Most recently, SDC deepened its engagement with the International Living Future Institute and its above-and-beyond programs. Attaining its third Just label, the firm demonstrated its continued commitment to and current performance in the social justice sphere. A few months later, SDC brought its first Living Building Challenge (LBC) Petal project to certification! The Fort at Williams College, which had also been LEED Gold-level certified, earned LBC Petal certification based upon all the imperatives in, Health + Happiness, Materials, and Equity. Designed by MCWB Architects and built by A/Z Corporation, the 12,875 sf renovated building now houses graduate students in Fine Arts. With SDC’s help, the resulting project took campus sustainability to new heights – and raised the bar on the firm aspirations for years to come!
