Design in harmony with the environment.

Corgan, in collaboration with the design architect H3, led the architectural detailing, documentation, and construction effort which focused on the realization of a building and campus that reinforced BRIT’s mission and commitment to environmental sustainability. Extensive use of daylighting, photovoltaic panels, low-flow/low-energy fixtures, low VOC materials, the integration of bioswales as well as natural, renewable plant-based materials created a highly sustainable and humane environment for the staff, researchers, and visitors.
