Good green living


It appears that we're not the only college group that has been busy at work in Greensburg. The architecture schools at both KU and K-state have built structures that promote green living. K-state's Greensburg Cubed project is described as a "sustainable residential model" that encourages recycling various resources. KU's project, the 5.4.7 Arts Center, provides artists with eco-friendly gallery space to showcase their work. Studio 804, the group that designed and constructed the building,hopes to pass the rigorous testing process to be LEED Platinum Certified, making it the greenest building in Kansas.

The photo is of the inside of Greenhaus, one of the modules installed as part of K-state's project. Kind of reminds me of Piet Mondrian.
