Academic
Below Zero Public Lecture by Barry Yoakum, Partner and CEO, archimania
February 20, 2025, from 12:00 – 1:15 pm in Althouse 106
Discover how “high design with high performance” is the DNA of a business strategy rooted in sustainability that creates “leaner, faster, better” projects. Founded thirty years ago in Memphis, archimania is an architecture and design firm that has been ranked nationally as high as 8th in design by ARCHITECT magazine. We will explore the backstory of realizing one of the world’s first dual-certified Zero Energy and Zero Carbon buildings. The building received an AIA National Committee on the Environment Award in 2021 and the award jury stated: “It’s a bold project; it’s going out on a limb, which is positive…Here is another way of doing this new urbanist plan that uses strategies appropriate for its place…if you’re going to do it, this is it.”
**Registration Required**
This program is sponsored by the Center for Sustainability Education and the Burgess Institute for the Global Economy.

Monitoring your blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol levels and BMI gives you the ability to stay on top of your overall health. Knowing your numbers provides the information to you for conversations with your personal physician. Do you know your numbers? If not, please plan to complete this health screening. For 2024-2025, the free biometric screening is available to the first 100 registrants or complete this screening during your annual well visit for your physical exam with your healthcare provider.
