UNIVERSITY BUSINESS PUBLISHES ARTICLE BY AMENTA EMMA PRINCIPAL MICHAEL TYRE ON SUSTAINABILITY AND INFECTION CONTROL

Amenta Emma principal Michael Tyre and BVH Integrated Services VP Richard Loveland co-authored an article for University Business on campuses striking a balance between commitments to sustainability and infection control measures implemented in response to COVID-19.

“Living through COVID-19 will give a whole generation of administrators new questions to ask as they take on development projects,” Michael and Richard write. “Whether it’s a pandemic, a storm or something else we haven’t thought of yet, how is it going to work when a gym needs to be something other than a gym? Designing for flexibility will enable campuses to avoid making tough calls that compromise sustainability in the future.”
