Where is Columbus in the great race, or rather slow plod, towards sustainability? Information about current initiatives in sustainability and general support within the Central Ohio region provide some different ways of assessing how good our community is at being environmental stewards. Demonstrated by AIA’s revised Code of Ethics and AIA National Committee on the Environment (COTE)’s support of the 9/20/19 Climate Strike, one of the big questions in the field of architecture is how to be a sustainable professional. Furthermore, AIA Columbus COTE is in the process of surveying sustainable practices for architecture firms in order to create a benchmark for the Central Ohio region. This initiative hopes to provide resources for filling in the gaps between typical practice and practice of architecture that will meet the AIA 2030 challenge. This session will explore these events as well as climate opinion data (Marlon et al, 2019) as different measures of sustainability. Given the greater contexts of the country, world, and climate change science, understanding where we stand is crucial to making the changes necessary to meeting our future on the best terms possible. The session will conclude with identifying ways in which we can work as individuals and organizations to address the challenge of being sustainable.

In 2009, the Euclid Waterfront Improvement Plan established a $30M vision for the city’s Lake Erie shoreline, of which only six percent was publicly accessible. Through a public consensus-building process, the first phase of improvements – a fishing pier and ADA-accessible trails linking the lakefront to downtown – were constructed in 2013. Phase II is currently under construction, featuring a three-quarter mile public all-purpose trail at the water’s edge, erosion mitigation, shoreline stabilization and habitat/beach reclamation, providing for environmental tourism and recreational opportunities. This milestone represents a decade public-private partnerships to bring from concept to reality one of the longest coastal projects permitted by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Through land donations and easement agreements from nearly 100 land owners, the vision reinforces regional goals for healthy communities and sets a precedent for catalytic economic development along Lake Erie. Euclid is the 17th largest city in Ohio, with a diverse population. Historically, the lakefront was publicly accessible, but a 20th-century housing and industrial boom changed the landscape. Now, the city is reclaiming its best natural asset for the benefit of all. This project is positioned to transform not only the deteriorating shoreline and natural habitats of Lake Erie, but to elevate property values, quality of life and overall attractiveness of the lakefront city to new investment, and to serve as a model for other lakefront communities.

1 GBCI CE, 1 AIA LU/HSW
Existing buildings may not be built with the latest and greatest insulation, air barriers, and other newer technologies but they provide a ready stock for sustainable construction. The former Lazarus department store, Clinton Elementary School, and OSU South Campus Highrises are all very different types of buildings built at different times but have one thing in common – they are all certified LEED gold. This course will examine how working with a building’s existing assets, whether it be the large windows and high ceilings or urban sites and existing mechanical pathways, can result in a sustainable building. Accounting for the benefits of historic preservation and adaptive reuse, the concept of embodied energy helps quantify benefits of using materials longer. These buildings are also typically in ideal locations for development – their incorporation into urban fabric lands all the benefits of existing utilities and public transportation. One concern one might have is how to update the buildings to be more energy efficient without disturbing the historic fabric. We’ll review some best tips for context-appropriate renovation.
