Building Design+Construction magazine [was] part of a unique building demonstration, the ''High Performance School of the Future, Today'' at the 2008 Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in Boston.

Designed by the design firm Project FROG of San Francisco, the high-performance green building system is a fully functional classroom that showcases advanced technologies and sustainable systems now available for the educational sector in North America.

The “School of the Future, Today” project is intended not only as a vision of what is to come, but also as evidence of what is possible today.

“The finished project will be a dynamic demonstration of the initiatives championed by USGBC and its LEED certification programs, and discussed throughout the three-day Greenbuild event,” said Building Design+Construction Publisher Dean Horowitz.

The 1,282-square-foot “learning space” incorporates the latest concepts in eco-friendly, sustainable features and products. Multiple building industry sponsors were selected to showcase the benefits of LEED certification, while also complementing the design concepts of the building.
