Speaking at Green Museums Summit 2023:

Museum Architecture in the Age of the Anthropocene

The Edelman Fossil Park Museum aims to build a community around the themes of discovery and responsible stewardship of the planet, so its building must fully embrace those values. Under construction now, it will be New Jersey’s largest public net zero facility—no fossil fuels will be combusted for museum operations, and no greenhouse gasses will be released into the atmosphere. 

Tune in to hear Director Dr Kenneth Lacovara and architect Thomas Wong talk about the process and the conversations museums should have with their architects about green building design.
