Gustavus Adolphus
Earns LEED Gold
The renovation of a 70-year-old build- ing on the campus of Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, MN, has been awarded the LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
Completed in 2016, the renovation of the Arthur H. Anderson Hall includes a three- story open gathering space to encourage collaboration and group work for students and faculty. The historic Kasota stone building opened in 1948 and originally served as the Gustavus library. It now houses a variety of academic programs and offices.
Some of the energy efficient strategies used in the renovation included selecting low-emitting materials, implementing green cleaning and equipment policies, and achieving energy cost savings of nearly 40 percent below baseline.
A multi-faith center inside the hall includes low-flow water fixtures and day- lighting strategies.
In addition, the project featured new boilers, which replaced Anderson Hall’s original heating system that was previously connected to a campus-wide steam system that runs through tunnels. Outside, the site is covered with drought-resistant native plants.
UVA Engineering
Unveils 17,000-Square-
Foot Link Lab
In February, University of Virginia (UVA) Engineering in Charlottesville,
VA, officially opened the Link Lab, a 17,000-square-foot space where researchers will develop and deploy systems that link the cyber and physical worlds.
Cyber-physical systems are defining technologies of the 21st century. In October 2015, UVA Engineering announced its cyber-physical systems initiative and its intent to build the Link Lab to bring together researchers from across the Engineering School and the university with expertise in a variety of technologies and their applications.
funded through UVA’s Strategic Invest- ment Fund, with $4.8 million to build out the space and house a collaborative team of more than 30 faculty members and more than 100 graduate students.
The Link Lab will focus on three primary areas:Autonomoussystemsdevelopedby
Link Lab faculty members that will make previously human-dominated tasks effective and efficient; smart cities, including intel- ligent storm water management for coastal communities dealing with rising tides;
and smart health solutions such as surgical robotsandwirelesshealthmonitors. CPM

VICTOR STANLEY RELAYTM SENSOR AND SERVICE
Our Relay technology continuously monitors fill level, conveys system temperature, weight, location via GPS and collection status, in real- time and historically. The sensor is invisible to the public eye, but you can log in and clearly see how to maximize efficiencies in collection planning, scheduling, and routing – an estimated 20-40% reduction in collection expenses. Whether you retrofit or make it part of new orders, Relay says a lot about how your community handles waste.
