The Kohler Environmental Center is a LEED-Platinum academic and residential facility that accommodates cohorts of up to 20 students for a total-immersion environmental living experience and curriculum. The building itself serves as a teaching tool: feedback from its monitoring systems enables students to teach themselves important lessons about how to live responsibly. Set in the midst of meadows, agricultural fields, second-growth forest, and wetlands, the Kohler Center allows students to learn from the site's exceptional biodiversity and range of habitats.
RAMSA Partners
Robert A.M. Stern,
Graham S. Wyatt, and
Kevin M. Smith led the design effort. For more information about the project, please click
