Situated smack dab in the middle of southern Wisconsin, the recently completed Aldo Leopold Legacy Center (ALLC) is a most befitting dedication to Leopold's tireless work for the planet. "Considered by many as the father of wildlife management and of the United States’ wilderness system, Aldo Leopold was a conservationist, forester, philosopher, educator, writer, and outdoor enthusiast," according to the center's website.

Often, people come to us asking, “How can I reduce my impact on the environment?” The Legacy Center is, in part, the result of attempting to answer that question. At heart, the Legacy Center attempts to answer the essential question—“How can we ensure both people and the land will prosper in the long run?"

Available for a variety of meetings and functions, it wouldn't have made much sense to not make the ALLC as green as possible. When presenting the center with its LEED Platinum certification, US Green Building Council president Rick Fedrizzi called it the "greenest building on the planet."

Everything you could imagine has been considered during the development and construction of the ALLC. For detailed information on all the center's eco-features, check out their website. This collection of buildings is a perfect example of how sustainable innovations can be seamlessly combined with traditional architecture to create the future of living/working spaces.
