"Our Common Future"

In 1987, the United Nations released the Brundtland Report, which defines sustainable development as "development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs".

Seven generation sustainability is an ecological concept that urges the current generation of humans to live sustainably and work for the benefit of the seventh generation into the future. It originated with the Iroquois - Great Law of the Iroquois

KEC Week 55

[courtyard view from the South]

With spring officially here we have ramped up the exterior activity again. 4 large trees on campus were tagged 2 years again and root pruned for transplanting to this site. The trees were relocated with a tree spade and planted in the courtyard and they look great.

On the interior, millwork continues in the labs and commons. Lights, ceiling fans, and electrical devices have been installed in the dorms as the floors are being prepared for finish flooring.
