Text description provided by the architects. Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, a global leader in sustainable building practices, has opened the new Center for Sustainable Landscapes (CSL), one of the world's greenest buildings. The new 24,350-‐square-‐foot structure is the first building project to pursue all three of the highest green architecture and landscape standards: the Living Building Challenge SM, LEED® Platinum and Sustainable Sites Initiative™ (SITES™) certification. A model of sustainability for architects, scientists, planners and anyone interested in living greener, this groundbreaking new building was designed to mimic nature and function as elegantly and efficiently as a flower.
