With the University of Texas in the lead, schools around the Stated are placing more and more emphasis on sustainable design and building.
The UT School of Architecture has long been among schools in the lead in green practices, with professors working in solar design in the 1970s, and members of the school's faculty having worked on a certification process that is today a standard in the identification of sustainable building design and implementation.
