The latest addition to the Phipps Conservatory campus is the Center for Sustainable Landscapes being constructed directly below the 2006 Tropical Forest Conservatory. This building incorporates many of the passive heating, cooling and ventilation designs found in traditional greenhouses. Roof vented atrium structure, operable sidewall vent sash and solar screen are a few of the numerous energy saving aspects of the building.
