Building Materials Reuse: From Whole Buildings to Individual Components

Illinois Green invites you to a 12 PM Webinar and optional Building Tour/Happy Hour Add-On to explore the building/material reuse economy from the perspectives of designers, contractors, and materials retailers. First, join us for a virtual webinar to learn how circular economy design strategies, diverting from construction waste streams, and the resulting workforce development implications impact the triple bottom line (profit, people, and planet). Panelists will also explain which reused materials are easiest to implement in design, which ones are easiest to salvage and donate during demolition and construction, and which are the easiest for non-profits to re-sell and keep in the use cycle.

Speakers:

• Anne Nicklin, Director of Workforce Training and Deconstruction Services, Rebuilding Exchange
• Patty Lloyd, Director of Sustainability, Leopardo Companies, Inc.
• Rand Ekman, Chief Sustainability Officer, HKS

LEED professionals may self report 1 CE hour for this program! We will send self reporting instructions to all attendees after the program.

Optional Add-On: If you’d like to see Rebuilding Exchange in-person, join us later in the day for a Happy Hour and Tour of Rebuilding Exchange Evanston, guided by Anne Nicklin, Director of Workforce Training and Deconstruction Services.

Time: Friday, April 28, 4:30 – 6:30 PM

Location: Rebuilding Exchange Evanston @ 1245 Hartrey Ave, Evanston, IL 60202
