Abstract:
Canavan discusses a visionary project in Chapel Hill that promises to be North Carolina's greenest building. With the state's population projected to increase by 50 percent in the next decade, architects are asking the question, will people live in more of the same or will a new energy efficient, environmentally conscious architecture develop. Greenbridge, a $30 million pair of mixed-use towers planned for West Rosemary Street in Chapel Hill, exemplifies the new environmental trend and will set the standard in the state for sustainable architectural development.
