Hey, Teach: Going Green in Missouri

Going green is picking up momentum in the education sector. The first LEED certified high school, Staley High School, will open next month in Kansas City, Missouri. Designed by Hollis + Miller, most of the $89 million steel structure is recycled. All of the utilities are designed to be economical: there’s a geo-thermal heating system, in which much of the heat is stored underground in the summer, and later reused in the winter, according to a KC Community News article.
