Oberlin College's Environmental Studies Center will use 21% of the energy of a typical new classroom building and serve as a teaching tool itself. From the carpeting to the electrical system, the building is designed with environmental concerns in mind. College officials and architects say there is no classroom building like it in the country.
The Adam Joseph Lewis Center is for environmental
studies that designed to be a builiding that teaches
students on how to reduce enviromental impact. Besides, this was very good connection between our title regarding 'Environmental Destruction: is tomorrow still there?'.


Furthermore, the center implements several green building techniques to keep it energy-efficient and comfortable. To minimise water consumption, wastewater is treated and reused. The photovoltaic cells replace the need for fossil fuels.
