The USGBC Natural Talent 2008 Design Competition provides an applied learning experience in the principles of integrated design, sustainability, innovation, and social consciousness; all of which are components of the LEED Green Building Rating System. Participants will compete in a local competition, the 1st place winner of which will move on to compete for a National award at GreenBuild Boston in November 2008. Local Awards include Green Building Scholarships as well as travel and registration to GreenBuild Boston (http://www.greenbuildexpo.org), the USGBC’s Annual Green Building Conference and Expo, where finalists’ entries will be displayed and where final judging will occur.

Our competition challenge this year is to design a LEED Platinum Middle School using the new LEED for schools guidelines. The Waterfront Site chosen for this Year’s Competition encompasses the old Tobacco Warehouse and the utilization of the surrounding Empire Ferry State Park in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY.
