1 Sustainability + Learning an equation for success at RVC ILLINOIS COMMUNITY COLLEGE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICERS FALL 2011 MEETING Dominick Demonica, AIA, LEED AP April Rottman, Chair, Life Sciences, RVC

2 2008 Campus Master Plan Sustainability Goals the College will utilize LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) design criteria as established by the U.S. Green Building Council to evaluate any new construction or renovation work it is important that the College evaluate the feasibility of incorporating certain green design strategies in terms of cost, payback, and overall environmental impact Planning Objectives Create a learner-centered campus environment
