The next Sustainability Café in the spring 2009 series will look at
"deconstruction."/ /This Café will be held on Thursday, March 19, from
noon to 1:00 p.m. in the Park Center for Business and Sustainable
Enterprise, room 301 at Ithaca College.
When planning a new construction project on a site where an existing
structure still stands, the first step to building "green" is to remove
that existing structure responsibly, and reuse and recycle any and all
useful construction materials and fixtures from it. The term for this
planned disassembly of existing buildings is called "deconstruction."*
Hans Milberger*, deconstruction coordinator, and executive director
*Diane Cohen*, from Finger Lakes Reuse Inc., will discuss this new
service that their organization is now offering to our community to
ensure that reusable construction materials are kept in service and out
of the local landfill.

For those who might be interested in coming to campus to attend this
Cafe - which is free and open to the public - below is information on
campus parking and access via TCAT:
Here is the link to our Campus Map http://www.ithaca.edu/map/
The Park Center for Business and Sustainable Enterprise is navy blue
building #29 on the map.
Here is the link to our Campus PARKING map.
http://www.ithaca.edu/map/parking.php
Free visitor parking is shown in orange on the map.
What DOES not show on the map is the construction site for the new
Gateway/Peggy R. Williams Center which is between the visitor parking
lot and the Park Center. For a couple more weeks, you will have to go
AROUND the construction site and enter the campus Quad on the sidewalk
between Dillingham Center (building #1) and Smiddy Hall (building #14).
Come down the Quad toward the Campus Center (building #9A/9B) on the
map, and just past Job Hall (building #2) and before Friends Hall
(building #3) turn left and take the walkway that connects the Quad to
the 2nd floor of the Park Center. Come in the building (you'll enter the
second floor atrium) and go up another flight of stairs and come to Room
301.
If you wish to ride the TCAT bus to campus, Route 11 runs between the
Commons and South Hill on half-hour service. Here is the link to TCAT
route 11 service.

The TCAT bus will drop you outside the lower level of the Park School of
Communications (building #20). Come up the stairs to the 2nd level -
come through the building and exit toward the Campus Center. Come up the
sidewalk next to U parking lot and at the intersection of the incoming
roadway, turn right and follow the sidewalk along between Williams Hall
and the Center for Natural Sciences. Go to the next roadway, which you
will cross. Continue forward on the sidewalk between the Muller Chapel
and the flagpole circle in front of Textor Hall and you'll be walking
toward the Park CENTER for Business and Sustainable Enterprise. Enter
the building on the 1st floor and come on up to the 3rd floor to Room 301.
See you then!
