Join us for an exclusive tour of the new Des Moines University Medicine and Health Sciences Campus, located on 88 acres in West Des Moines. This state-of-the-art facility is the cornerstone of an evolving educational and healthcare landscape. The campus envisioned and executed by RDG Planning & Design, serves as a testament to DMU's commitment to providing advanced medical education and clinical services.
During this event, we'll celebrate the campus's LEED Silver certification with a special plaque presentation, followed by an overview of the project's vision and its significant impact on both education and community health. You'll also get a chance to explore the campus through a guided tour led by DMU staff and members of the design team, who will share insights into the innovative energy efficiency and sustainability strategies that shaped this groundbreaking project.
Key Highlights:
- Learn about the design and construction process that enabled the University to create a smaller, yet more efficient and sustainable campus.
- Discover the unique energy efficiency strategies, including daylighting, passive shading, energy-efficient lighting, and a closed-loop geothermal heating and cooling system.
- Understand how the Commercial New Construction (CNC) program, supported by Willdan, played a pivotal role in achieving the campus’s energy and sustainability goals through modeling, benchmarking, and rebate financing.
Dinner: Following the tour, participants are invited to join co-sponsors ASHRAE Iowa and MidAmerican Energy at Smash Park (6625 Coachlight Dr, West Des Moines, IA 50266) for a dinner event. Note: a separate ticket is required.
