Colorado Design Firm Boulder Associates Turns Earth-Friendly Theory into PracticeEnvironmental sensitivity ranks high among the hip trends in culture and design. But one Boulder design firm reaches beyond the hype, to innovate and lead within the sustainable design movement. Sustainability takes architectural design to the next level, combining environment responsibility with profitability, social proactivity and innovation.
Boulder Associates, Inc., a 50-person architecture and interior design firm specializing in healthcare and senior living, is setting a new standard for sustainability in its staffing, designs and corporate policies. With a new Sustainable Design Director, the nation's first LEED(R) Certified hospital, a benchmark of sustainability and a company culture dedicated to sustainable business practices, BAI is moving the "green design" trend from theory to practice.
In February, 2004 BAI named Kristi Ennis its first Sustainable Design Director. Kristi's role is to champion design integration ensuring sustainability is a key component of BAI's work. She has been with Boulder Associates for eight years and recently completed a semester immersion program in "green" design at the Ecosa Institute, exposing her to the latest trends. She will be responsible for ensuring that project teams have timely and accurate information regarding opportunities for energy and resource efficiency and healthy building practices.
