We’re excited to share that Morgridge Hall at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has achieved LEED Platinum certification, setting a new standard for sustainability on campus. As the most sustainable building at UW-Madison, Morgridge Hall features energy-efficient systems, a high-performance envelope that includes triple glazing, and 359 rooftop solar panels—producing enough energy to power 182 average Wisconsin homes each year. Innovative stormwater capture and reuse for flush fixtures and irrigation, accessible green roofs, and biophilic design elements like indoor gardens and green walls reflect a holistic commitment to environmental stewardship and wellness.

Morgridge Hall is more than a building—it’s a vibrant center for interdisciplinary research, collaboration, and learning. Home to the School of Computer, Data and Information Sciences, it brings together students, faculty, and researchers organized around a dynamic, light-filled environment designed to foster connection and creativity. Every floor supports learning, wellness, and spontaneous collaboration, while public art and locally inspired materials celebrate Wisconsin’s landscape and culture.

Join us in celebrating this milestone and discover how Morgridge Hall is shaping the future of sustainable, human-centered academic spaces. For more information, visit our website: https://lmnarchitects.com/project/computer-data-information-sciences-university-of-wisconsin-madison

We’re thrilled to announce that the Austin Convention Center Redevelopment, designed in partnership with Page, is featured in Dezeen’s roundup of Texas convention centers. The article spotlights how the project redefines the convention center experience by reconnecting Austin’s downtown grid, introducing vibrant outdoor event spaces, and creating a welcoming civic destination for both residents and visitors.

A highlight from the article is the perspective of Leonardo da Costa, who notes, “This project is about more than just a building—it’s about restoring connections within the city and creating a place where the community and visitors can come together in new ways.” This recognition underscores the project’s commitment to urban integration, sustainability, and placemaking, setting a new standard for convention centers nationwide.
