Laura Cole is an Associate Professor of Interior Architecture & Design at Colorado State University. She gained her expertise in green building design as a former design practitioner at the world-class architectural firm of Perkins+Will, Chicago. Her interdisciplinary PhD work was conducted at the University of Michigan in Architecture and Natural Resources & Environment. Her research focuses on the social dimensions of green buildings, with an emphasis on how sustainable design can support education for sustainability. She examines how buildings designed as “teaching tools” for environmental sustainability can be leveraged for formal and informal STEM education. Recent publications have made pioneering theoretical contributions to the definition of “green building literacy” and the multiplicity of ways in which buildings can deepen and support the human connection to nature.
