What makes this project a leader in energy, water, habitat, green materials, daylighting strategies, and more? How does the project fulfill Biophilic Design principles that help visitors feel connected to nature? We will also hear about the Seaholm EcoDistrict neighborhood where the project is located and what makes this district innovative from the inside out.
