Morken Center Dedication
May 5 marked the convocation and dedication of the Morken Center for Learning and Technology, an integrated learning environment for math, computer science and computer engineering, and business at Pacific Lutheran University. PLU is proud that the Morken Center is one of the Pacific Northwest’s most environmentally friendly university buildings. It is in the process of being certified by the U.S. Green Building Council under the organization’s LEED program, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
Certification is expected sometime in June, and an announcement about the level of certification received will be posted on this Web site. In the meantime, a fact sheet about the building’s sustainable characteristics, as well as a photo gallery, time-lapse video and a list of the donors who made the building possible are included here.
Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich spoke at the convocation ceremony held in honor of the new building. To read about Reich’s speech and coverage of the Morken Center Dedication in The News Tribune, click here.
