It boasts to have the deepest geo-thermal wells ever drilled in perhaps the entire U.S. reaching deeper than 1,500 feet or more than the height of the John Hancock building.
Dennis Carlberg, chief sustainability officer and associate VP for climate action at BU gave an overview of the construction of the building and its architectural marvels. Abigail Roberts, sustainability program manager at Turner Construction and chapter president of CREW gave some information and updates on new construction techniques.

After the discussion on new sustainability practices in real estate and construction, there were detailed tours of this 17-story building, its building systems and infrastructure. CREW members were well represented.
