2008 Media Coverage

The California Academy of Sciences (CAS) in San Francisco has  completed a transformation. Its innovative redesign has already gained international recognition as a cultural icon. Under one “living roof,” the new Academy contains a planetarium, an aquarium, and a natural history museum.

The CAS expects to be the largest public LEED-platinum building in the world (Official LEED status won’t be determined until autumn of 2009).

In the last 50 years, the number of motor vehicles in the United States has tripled and the number of miles traveled by drivers has increased five times (Federal Highway Administration (FHA), highway statistics). In order to accommodate these increases, many roads are being widened.

On the night of May4, 2007, 95 percent of the homes and businesses in Greensburg, Kan., were destroyed by a massive F5 tornado that was nearly two miles wide.  Although this storm was devastating to the entire community, its rebuilding has presented Greensburg residents with an unparalleled opportunity to create a stronger, "green" city from the ground up.

Legacy Parkway, Utah's State Capitol and The District Theatres in South Jordan - and maybe even your home - all have something in common.  These and hundreds of other structures, roadways and residences are made, in part, with the same substance as the fluffy white packing peanut - expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) - produced by Murray's ACH Foam Technologies.

The Aldo Leopold Foundation's New Legacy Center is located in rural Wisconsin, not far from where the influential conservationist reforested a piece of worn-out farmland and wrote A Sand County Almanac.  The 12,000 square foot project includes three buildings around a central courtyard.
