Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa needed an updated science building. Pre-med is one of their signature majors and the students were learning science in a building built in 1954 with very few upgrades. Join the Ozarks ASHRAE Chapter to hear about a case study on the complete transformation of this 1950s circa building into a modern, energy efficient facility for cutting edge science and informal student collaboration.
