Why All the Construction?

Zilkha Center for the Environment

The construction process is seemingly never-ending at Williams, but according to reporter Maya Spalding-Fecher '21, students don't seem to understand what is taking into consideration to get a project up and going. How are decisions made about which buildings to build and how to integrate sustainability into the process? Reporter Maya Spalding-Fecher '21 talks with Rita Coppola Wallace the Executive Director for the Planning, Design, and Construction Office, Tiku Majumder the Director of the Science Center and former Interim President of Williams, and Amy Johns Director of the Zilkha Center about the decision-making and design processes and how sustainability fits into it.
