The Health Sciences Building is one of Belmont University's largest new projects. As VISION reporter Kevin Heim explains, its also one of the greenest.
Interesting that young students are the ones that don't seem to care about the environment? Maybe it was just that their opinions were the only ones that seemed 'interesting'? I am no wacko environmentalist; but really, the extra cost toward the water collection system will be made up fairly quickly....water costs money - or don't the students know that? As for the 'green' roof...offseting water runoff and planting a few trees is a great idea...i say, "kudos" to Belmont for being innovative!
