Carnegie Mellon University

Carnegie Mellon University has a strong record of creating and implementing environmental initiatives that come from both top-down mandates and bottom-up efforts.  These initiatives result from the creative collaboration between the faculty and students, the facilities team, and leading professionals in the field.  evolve has been a strong partner in these efforts, working with the university since 2004 to be a significant driver of University-wide environmental change.

evolveEA has helped in the design, construction and operation of over 100,000sf of facilities renovation and new construction.  By providing LEED management services for four LEED NC and CI projects we have helped standardize energy and water usage savings, more integrated design and construction, furthered healthy materials sourcing and helped CMU promote their efforts.

evolveEA has also helped CMU develop policies and implementation plans for campus wide green housekeeping and for construction and demolition waste specifications, the latter resulting in the grinding and salvage of nearly all demolition waste for the $100M Gates Center project.

Members of evolveEA have also served on the Green Practices Committee and consulted in service to their efforts, contributing to the strengthening of in-house green capacity and policy development for campus issues such as green landscape practices, sustainable purchasing and other issues.

Services such as these include:

  1. LEED Management, New Construction and Commercial Interiors | oversight, advocacy, ideation, consultant management, record keeping and submittals for the LEED process.
  2. Policy Development and Implementation Plans | leading a collaborative process with stakeholders to benchmark, set goals, draft policies and critical paths for implementation.
  3. Targeting Consulting | involvement in projects on an as needed basis.
