  • St. Louis, MO May 25, 2010 — The Sustainable Sites Initiative™ (SITES™) announced the selection of the SWT Design campus as one of the first landscapes to participate in a new program testing the nation’s first rating system for green landscape design, construction and maintenance.

    SWT Design will join more than 150 other projects from 34 states as well as from Canada, Iceland and Spain as part of an international pilot project program to evaluate the new SITES rating system for sustainable landscapes, with and without buildings.  Sustainable landscapes can clean water, reduce pollution and restore habitats, while providing significant economic and social benefits to land owners and municipalities.

    SITES, a partnership of the American Society of Landscape Architects, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center at The University of Texas at Austin and the United States Botanic Garden, selected SWT Design campus based on its extensive environmentally friendly elements. These sustainable practices include: managing rainwater on site with a green roof, rain garden and permeable parking that has percolation pits beneath, protecting and restoring soil conditions as well as selecting regional plants and materials.
