Project Puts Spotlight on Ithaca
An article on the website of the Chronicle of Higher
Education reports on the progress of the new School of Business

to claim two platinum LEED buildings on campus. The writer toured the
construction projects with former provost Peter Bardaglio, now with the
sustainability advocacy organization Second Nature.
