are those that examine how well a building achieves its design goals over an extended period of time and how it adapts to the changing needs of the human and ecological community it is a part of. While the Lewis Center’s performance is a significant accomplishment, the most important achievement of the Lewis Center has been the inspiration that it has provided to several generations of students and design professionals. Projects inspired by the Lewis Center range in focus from sustainable agriculture to environmental policy to green technology to urban revitalization. The city of Oberlin has been designated as a Clinton Climate Positive project, an effort to redevelop the community using growth strategies that reduce on-site net CO2 emissions to below zero. This project has clear roots in lessons explored and embodied in the Lewis Center.• references 1. Orr, D.W. 2006. Design on the Edge: The Making of a High-Performance Building. MIT Press. 2.
