Green Museums

The Project

This project is a cross-institution collaboration between built environment scholars interested in green building literacy and museum architecture. We ask: Can science museums with green buildings be a portal to impactful community-level green building education? Our case study of 8 U.S. science museums sought to understand how museums with a science education missions use their own green facilities for educational purposes.  Work to date has shown the potential to advance public green building literacy through green museums. However, many museums can be doing more to connect their green facilities to their science education missions. Our upcoming publication will examine the perspective of staff members across the museums to reveal the perceived challenges and barriers to using their buildings for green building education.
