Building Sustainably with Sierra Sustainable Builders and Ward Young Architects

Join for an engaging panel featuring Ward Young Architects and Sierra Sustainable Builders, who designed, sourced, and are working towards constructing Tahoe’s first LEED-certified office building, now the new home of Keep Tahoe Blue.

Discover human and environmentally centered philosophy that brought the Spurlock/Evers Environment & Education Center to life, and how others, including homeowners, can apply Keep Tahoe Blue’s sustainability building to future projects. Attendees can also learn about materials that are beautiful, sustainable, robust, and can easily be incorporated into projects.
