“It is a great achievement for us at Imbue Sustainability<br />
to be a part of this award-winning project and assist in<br />
facilitating positive change. The building blocks for<br />
this high-EBP-scoring building are very low energy and<br />
water operational intensities, while its waste diversion<br />
from landfill percentage is outstanding. This doesn’t<br />
just happen by chance but is a long journey that the<br />
university has committed to and followed intensely for<br />
a long time. It is very rewarding to receive recognition<br />
for all the hard work that has gone into it,” says AP<br />
