Kresge Announces New Higher Green Building Standards for Challenge-grant Applicants in Higher Education

Financially strapped and under-resourced institutions will receive special assistance to enhance their knowledge of green building practices. Kresge has partnered with the nonprofit organization Second Nature to launch a new program called Advancing Green Building in Higher Education. With a three-year, $1.2 million Kresge grant, Second Nature will help Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and the U.S. Department of Education’s Title III and V institutions develop green building projects for their campuses.
