Welcome to the U.S. Green Building Council South Carolina Chapter!
USGBC-SC CHAPTER MEETING
The May meeting for the USGBC-SC chapter will be May 18th
starting at 1PM. It will be at the Edisto Beach Visitor's and
Education Center. The Education Center, located in the ACE Basin and
LEED Certified in December 2005, consists of 7,635 square feet of
educational facility and an additional 3,836 square feet of decks
and covered porches for outdoor learning. Following the concepts of
LEED the building utilizes materials and systems based upon
consideration of both short term and long term economy in the use of
our natural resources. The architectural spaces blend local
aesthetic with contemporary features effectively combining a cluster
of building shapes to form a "village-like" atmosphere.
Below are the directions to the meeting place. Also, for anyone who
would like to meet for lunch, directions are below to a restaurant
that is nearby.
Those meeting for lunch should plan to arrive around 11:30 at the
restaurant to allow enough time before the meeting begins. Also, if
the parking lot is full please use the lot by the boat ramp. Please
don't park up and down the street. To read more about the park,
