Did you know that Mithun has had carbon neutral operations since 2004? We’re currently in our 18th year of measuring and offsetting firmwide operational carbon emissions and hold Climate Registered Gold status through #TheClimateRegistry, which provides third-party verification and transparent reporting to the public. 📷: @k7scott

Happy Earth Day! We’re thrilled to share that Louisiana Children's Museum has received an AIA COTE Top Ten Plus Award! This national sustainable design recognition represents the highest standards for design excellence and environmental performance with rigorous criteria for social, economic and ecological value. In addition, the project earned a "Plus" designation for its exemplary performance data and post occupancy lessons. This is the seventh AIA COTE Top Ten Award for Mithun.
After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Louisiana Children’s Museum re-envisioned its mission to holistically address the health and development of children in a state that often ranks 48th in educational outcomes. The health and well-being benefits of intentionally connecting children with nature led the museum to relocate from an indoor-focused experience in New Orleans’ Warehouse District to a new campus encircling a lagoon in the 1,300-acre City Park. The new campus presents a transformative model for children’s museums, one that weaves together indoor and outdoor learning opportunities along with literacy, parenting, early childhood research and environmental education activities to create a holistic and supportive environment for children and their families.

The design of Edmonds College’s Hazel Miller Hall organizes classrooms and offices around a central atrium to maximize space and building system efficiencies, and share resources across programs—maximizing value on a limited budget. Dispersed within the atrium and connected corridors are flexible seating and study areas that bring students together as a community of learners. 📷: @k7scott
Hazel Miller Hall weaves multiple STEM programs together with multipurpose classrooms to support spatial and pedagogical adaptability over time. Nursing simulation labs and active learning spaces engage students with each other and the instructor, developing collaboration skills and hands-on experience sought by employers. đź“·: @k7scott
Hazel Miller Hall at Edmonds College collocates chemistry, physics, engineering, nursing and math programs to create an interdisciplinary academic center for STEM education that serves high-demand occupations. Located at the heart of campus, the new facility features specialized chemistry and physics labs, nursing simulation classrooms and simulated patient rooms, as well as informal study spaces that serve all of the college’s students. 📷: @k7scott
