This program will explore how architects\, engineers\, contractors and marketing professionals effectively make the case for green building in real-world project conversations. \nHighlighting perspectives from across the building industry\, panelists will share how sustainability communication happens in practice: when key conversations occur\, how messaging adapts for different client and project types\, and which strategies help move conversations beyond “that sounds expensive” toward long-term value\, resilience\, health\, and performance. The discussion will also examine how firms position their sustainability expertise through branding\, storytelling\, project experience\, and organizational identity. Attendees will gain practical insights into what strategies communicate the business\, environmental\, and human benefits of green building more effectively\, and help to build client trust\, strengthen collaboration\, and advance more sustainable outcomes across the industry. \nModeratorNora Knox\, Co-Founder\, Bold Branch Collective \nPanelistsMatt Cale\, National Program Manager\, Farnsworth Group IncDrew Hustedde\, Senior Architect I & Sustainability Lead\, BSA LifeStructuresMary Peterein\, Preconstruction Director\, McCarthy Building CompaniesAbigail Sirevaag\, Vendor Program Manager\, Branch Real Estate\, Edward Jones \nWHEREMcCarthy Building Companies12851 Manchester Rd | St. Louis\, MO 63131 \nWHENTuesday\, June 9 – 5:30 – 7:30 pm \nADMISSIONFree – Members of Missouri Gateway Green Building Council and full time students.$25.00 – Non-MembersNot a member?

As a result\, the carbon benefits of reusing existing buildings are frequently overlooked in climate action strategies\, carbon accounting\, and design decision-making. This gap represents a major missed opportunity for professionals in preservation\, planning\, design\, and policy to better measure their potential impact and advocate more effectively for building reuse. The CARE (Carbon Avoided Retrofit Estimator) Tool addresses this challenge by enabling decision-makers to quantify the carbon benefits of renovating and upgrading existing buildings versus demolishing and constructing new ones. Join us for an introduction to the CARE Tool with architect James Roseberry of Trivers and learn how CARE can be used to estimate the carbon impact of your projects and compare the impact of different design decisions. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n James Roseberry\, AIA\, CDT\, LEED AP BD+C\, Director of Sustainability\, Trivers Associates \nJames is the Director of Sustainability and an Associate with Trivers. He is experienced in historic renovation\, adaptive reuse\, and technical spaces. He has also served a key role on many impactful projects in the St. Louis area. He has contributed to a number of Trivers’ sustainable projects\, including the renovation of January Hall at Washington University\, which received LEED Gold certification. James serves on the Planning Group of the BuildingGreen Small Firm Sustainable Design Leaders Peer Network. He is a member of the American Institute of Architects and the Missouri Gateway Green Building Council\, where he served as 2024 Chair of the MGGBC board of directors and is currently on the Education Committee. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nREGISTER NOW\n\n\n  \nIn 2024\, our Coffee Break Series transitioned to a slightly longer Green Building Break Series. These sessions will take place on the 3rd or 4th Fridays from 12:00pm-1:00pm\, varying between in person tours and Zoom webinars.

This monumental building\, a construction achievement\, is 12 years old. Like the original building\, built for the 1904 World’s Fair\, the addition was designed to stand for a 100 years or more. Now more than a decade on\, we thought it would be valuable to revisit the construction of this iconic project. In discussion with members of the 2013 project team and building material stakeholders\, we will explore what new advancements in concrete and steel and construction techniques might be used if the addition was built today\, given the industry’s greater focus on embodied carbon. \nParticipants:Julie Bauer\, Architect & Senior Lecturer\, Washington University in St. Louis\, Project Architect for David Chipperfield Architects for the St. Louis Art Museum East BuildingAllison Johnson\, Sustainable Design Leader\, HOKAnthony Alleman\, Vice President – Operations\, Pepper ConstructionLeif Johnson\, Structural Engineering Director\, StructureCraftSam Klucker\, Materials Engineer\, Concrete StrategiesRusty Owings\, Midwest Technical Services Engineer\, AMRIZE/HolcimSean Smith\, Market Development Manager\, New Millennium Steel \nImages: Simon Menges \n  \nADMISSIONFree for Missouri Gateway Green Building Council members & full time students$25 for non-members – not a member yet?
