The project is being submitted to USGBC with a goal of LEED Silver Certification.Thanks to Ball State for selecting MSKTD for this prestigious project, and a “good job” to Gary Voirol, Rick Dahlstrom and the rest of the MSKTD crew for delivering a great project.
The U.S. Green Building Council recently announced that over one billion square feet of commercial projects had been certified. Part of that was achieved with the Sweetwater Sound headquarters which achieved LEED Platinum. We also have a number of projects with Ball State University and Ivy Tech Community College that are registered and working towards certification. But whether or not our clients choose LEED certification, we understand the dynamics of image, function, environment and technology; efficiency, sustainability, and expandability, and we strive for the very best for our clients.
Rick Dahlstrom volunteers his time to be President of the local chapter of the Foundation Fighting Blindness. He recently wrote an article which was published in the Journal Gazette. MSKTD has chosen to support the Foundation with our Blue Jean Friday charity fund-raising in May. Rick is an Architect with MSKTD and has been with us for 18 years. He has managed prominent projects such as the Ball State University Student Recreation and Wellness Facility. MSKTD is proud to have him on our team.
