ANNOUNCEMENTS

Kudos!
Highsmith Recycling -- Thanks to the efforts of Facilities Management & Planning and Design & Construction, with assistance from Lee Nichols Clark Patterson architects and the on-site work by general contractor M.B. Kahn, UNCA recycled 2,800 tons of material from the tear-down of Highsmith Center rather than sending it to the landfill. This is good news for the environment and saved UNCA $95,000 in landfill tipping fees.
