Presented by: Kjell Anderson, Director of Sustainable Design, LMN Architects | Leslie Palaroan, Design and Construction Services Analyst, University of California Office of the President | Robert Smith, Principal, LMN Architects
Embodied carbon reduction is the next frontier of our campuses and buildings. This session will highlight the University of California (UC) Office of the President initiative to train capital project staff across 10 campuses in low-carbon project delivery. UC’s system-wide Low Carbon Showcase training empowers capital project teams with tools, strategies, frameworks, and actionable case studies for sustainable, healthy campus planning. We’ll provide you with access to these proven resources and practical insights for embedding embodied carbon reduction strategies, which you can apply to your capital project workflows.
Learning Outcomes:
- Apply tools and methodologies for analyzing embodied carbon in your construction and renovation projects with the goal of carbon reduction for environmental health.
- Detail frameworks for incorporating carbon reduction goals into campuswide capital planning and design standards for a healthier campus.
- Evaluate and prioritize cost-effective solutions for reducing embodied carbon without compromising project goals.
- Identify actionable takeaways from UC training case studies, allowing you to replicate successful carbon reduction strategies on your own campus.

Presented by: Alice Raucher, Architect for the University, University of Virginia | Joseph Celentano, Principal, VMDO Architects | Kelly Crace, Executive Director of the Contemplative Sciences Center, University of Virginia | Kent Chiang, Principal, Aidlin Darling Design
Campus space design that prioritizes biophilia, intentionality, and inclusivity can positively impact empathy and academic performance for today’s students. At a time when student mental health is in crisis, the University of Virginia’s (UVA) Contemplative Commons serves as a model for fostering student and community wellbeing through the integration of architecture, landscape, and educational programming. Through examining the project’s conception, execution, and student-user feedback, we’ll demonstrate how innovative design and interdisciplinary collaboration can create a campus environment that supports the whole student.
Learning Outcomes:
- Discuss how contemplative and mindful spaces contribute to student wellbeing, academic success, and community engagement.
- Evaluate interdisciplinary design and planning methods that foster innovative learning environments to support wellness, inclusivity, and reflection.
- Perform a guided exercise to recognize the impact of biophilic-centered design and how natural and built environment integration can enhance health as well as emotional and cognitive learning.
- Assess quantitative and qualitative data from student feedback that illustrates the importance of contemplative spaces in our university communities.
