Keynote Speaker
William McDonough
Internationally renowned architectural designer William
McDonough delivered
the keynote address at this year's conference. In a thought-provoking
presentation, McDonough brought his highly acclaimed and environmentally
centered approach to the arena of laboratory design.
In 1999, Time magazine recognized him as a 'Hero for the Planet'
stating that "his utopianism is grounded in a unified philosophy
that—in demonstrable and practical ways—is changing the
design of the world." McDonough became the only individual
in 1996 to receive the Presidential Award for Sustainable Development,
the nation's highest environmental honor. He is also the founding
principal of William
McDonough + Partners, Architecture and Community Design,an internationally recognized design firm practicing ecologically,
socially, and economically intelligent architecture and planning
in the United States and abroad.
