LEED buildings are good + bad


so after the tour of northern guilford middle and high schools today, i've realized that LEED buildings aren't as much as they're cracked up to be. i say this because the schools seemed sterile and the educational environment has already been beaten of it's creativity so now where are students to be inspired to pursue their dreams? yes LEED is great for the environment, but as designers we can't forget who we are designing for...so what if we need a little guidance along the way, even if that means talking to a 5 year old in kindergarten. Didn't we learn that all we need to know in life in kindergarten?
