• Creating a new Cornell Outdoor Education building on Beebe Lake as the newest hub of student outdoor activities including Cornell Outing Club, Friends of the Georges, and the making the building one of the Cornell’s new “Destinations” as a portal to the Plantations
• Evaluate the entire Cornell Campus for the purposes of Solar Technology Renovations
• Investigate new green building metric systems like the USGBC LEED program in a new metric design project that is aiming to work with the Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future
