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

Through fellowship awards administered by Second Nature, 40 senior managers will learn about the resources available for LEED-certified facilities as well as their potential for saving money, reducing negative health impacts, and creating models of environmental sustainability. Second Nature is also collaborating with the United Negro College Fund, which received a $60,000 Kresge planning grant to enhance its current Capacity Building Institute to include a program to help minority-serving institutions build green.
