“The Greenest Building,” a new hour-long documentary by producer Jane
Turville, 
 presents a compelling overview of the important role building reuse plays
in creating sustainable
communities.  Narrated by David Ogden Stiers, “The Greenest Building”
explores the myth that a
“green building” is a new building and demonstrates how renovation and
adaptive reuse of
existing structures fully achieves the sustainability movement’s “triple
bottom line” - economic, social,
and ecological balance.

Please join us as Bo Sullivan, Lighting Historian for Rejuvenation, shares

will trace the evolution of American lighting styles from elaborate Neo-Grec
