Ecology School's New Campus Among Few Dozen Worldwide To Earn Living Building Challenge's Highest Certification

The dining commons at the Ecology School's River Bend Farm campus.
For decades, the Ecology School has held program and camps for students from across Maine to teach them about nature and their own relationship to it. This week, the school is unveiling its new campus, which it says will be the most sustainable in the Northeast.
Ecology School President Drew Dumsch stops every few feet as he walks along the trails overlooking the Saco River on the school's new campus at Saco's River Bend Farm. At each stop, Dumsch points out secondhand objects that are being reused.
There's an old horse shed the school bought on eBay. Wooden boxes that held windows are being turned into raised garden beds. And alongside the walls of the new dormitory are several giant, plastic totes.
