CDA and GreenCE Offer Video Case Study for Continuing Education Credit
NEW YORK— Inspired by its surrounding southwestern landscape, the Health Sciences Education Building (HSEB) at The University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix is one of the most innovative construction projects in the United States, utilizing predominately recycled copper. Using nearly 6,000 copper panels and more than 10,000 copper parts, this 268,000-square-foot building consists of six stories of administration and faculty offices, lecture halls, learning studios, flexible classrooms, clinical suites, gross anatomy facilities, laboratories and conference rooms.
The Copper Development Association (CDA), in conjunction with GreenCE, has developed a two-part video case studywhich further highlights the building materials and craftsmanship of the HSEB project, and the design philosophy and strategy behind the sustainable design and construction of this state-of-the-art facility. Both hour-long videos are registered with the USGBC for continuing education creditsand the American Institute of Architects (AIA), which requires architects to pursue continuing education to maintain their accreditation.
