Lewis Environmental Studies Center at Oberlin CollegeGreen building is about building better buildings — better and healthier for the occupants, better and less expensive for the owners and operators, better and less demanding of the environment. In part because it just makes sense, green building is rapidly entering the mainstream.

In Northeast Ohio, more and more new buildings are "green" in some significant way. This section will track the progress. Let us know if you'd like to add a page about your project. (A more complete directory of local green buildings is maintained by the Cleveland Green Building Coalition.)
