- Rooftop photovoltaic arrays will generate over 12.5% of the campus’ electricity.
- Potable water consumption to be reduced by up to 90%.
- LEED® Platinum certified.
- Eight new buildings comprising 360,000ft2.
The Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) replaced its existing facilities with eight new academic buildings that form the new Knight Management Center campus.
Buildings include faculty and staff offices, student common areas, a dining pavilion, seminar and conference rooms, an information center and auditorium.
Recognising the important role that business plays in the environment, the GSB created a 15-person sustainability task force to establish goals that would guide the design of the new campus from the earliest stages. Arup helped to lead the effort to create a design in keeping with GSB's leadership position with respect to business and the environment.
Through consultations with nationally-renowned experts, the task force identified existing and emerging sustainability solutions that could be considered for incorporation into the campus’ design.
The Knight Management Center achieved LEED Platinum certification, the highest level available through the US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program.
