| At SHW Group, sustainable design matters and we understand the importance of designing how spaces act, not just how they look. To further cultivate our culture of design, we continually look to natural and local resources as the basic tenets of sustainability. We acknowledge these same resources assist in 21st-century learning, and we are committed to incorporating high-performance sustainable design in learning spaces. For our clients and our firm, this environmental engagement translates to energy-efficient, healthy and productive learning environments, and collaborative SHW workspaces that have a minimal impact on the earth. Our studios are also “living laboratories” that foster sustainable thinking and the green testing of products so that we may truly understand how to effectively enhance a learning environment.
To ensure our firm is reaching the highest level of green building and performance measures, we encourage employees to seek LEED® accreditation. As a result, the firm’s number of LEED APs continues to increase each day. We’ve also aligned ourselves with the U.S. Green Building Council to seek LEED certification for our studios. The LEED Green Building Rating System™ is the national benchmark for the design, construction and operations of high-performance green buildings. We value our partnership with the USGBC and we are committed to sustainability in harmony with our clients’ budgets and educational goals.
