The STEM Teaching and Learning Facility, completed in 2021, has been awarded an Excellence in Decarbonization Award for Adaptive Reuse from the International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories (I2SL)

"Both the adaptive reuse of the power plant and the use of mass timber contributed heavily to the complex’s carbon-efficient design. The project incorporated over 3,000 cubic meters of mass timber, storing an estimated 1,856 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2-e)—equivalent to over 4.6 million miles driven by an average vehicle!"
