NYU’s Schack Institute of Real Estate has unveiled a new academic center focusing on sustainable real estate development. The Center for the Sustainable Built Environment will allow students to pursue studies in green building, according to a press release sent from the university. James Stuckey, the divisional dean at the NYU Schack Institute, said that the program addresses key issues currently facing real estate professionals today. “Developing energy-efficient, environmentally friendly buildings and infrastructure, and supporting technologies and regulations which allow that development to happen, are chief among the challenges facing the real estate industry today,” Stuckey said in a written statement. This news comes on the heels of an announcement last month that the program would be launching a new academic journal. TRD [more]
