October 2026: Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library
Join us Tuesday, October 13th for our next BEC Presentation!
The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library set out to achieve a number of firsts, including an aggressive set of sustainability and conservation goals in an extremely rural location to fulfil the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt. This course will explore how these goals are globally applied throughout the project, and specifically applied to the design, detailing, and execution of a highly complex building envelope. We will discuss the importance of maintaining the simplicity of the design intent while addressing the challenges associated with a high-performance envelope and complicated construction process.
