Greening The Valley:
Sustainable Architecture in the Pioneer Valley
University Gallery 
The University Gallery embarks on an exhibition of significant social and aesthetic value by organizing “Greening the Valley: Sustainable Architecture in the Pioneer Valley”, and a series of related public talks and events. It will not only document the rich variety of green architectural activities taking place in our Pioneer Valley and greater Springfield communities, but will also capture the development of the new technologies and practices in green architecture that will become an increasingly important aspect of our daily lives. The exhibition and public talks will represent a valuable source of information for researchers, students, and the public-at-large. Local citizens will be able to make valuable connections with area architects and suppliers whose work and materials emphasize sustainability.
