Green Building Tour of Urban Chestnut Brewery

This project, which is pursuing  LEED certification, transformed the existing space- reopening bricked over windows, opening up the middle of the building, and making significant improvements to the building's exterior. Join us to tour this green building!

How do we develop a resilient St. Louis community in the face of a changing environment? Whether it's flood-plain development, a changing insurance landscape, or uncertain government regulation, part of the answer will be how we approach the relationship between water and our built environment. Panelists from diverse perspectives will discuss the current status and future implications of these topics.
