This paper presents an edited transcript from a round-table discussion in Boston between a group of architects and campus-sustainability directors. They met together with The Chronicle to talk about the issues on climate change, poverty, energy use, environmental health, and the role that colleges, and particularly their facilities offices, can play in dealing with those issues. The meeting was attended by Sarah Hammond Creighton, Tufts University's director of campus sustainability, Thomas Fisher, an architect and dean of the College of Design at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, Tom Kelly, New Hampshire's director of the office of sustainability, and Ellen Watts, a founder and principal at Architerra, a Boston-based architecture firm devoted to sustainability. Scott Carlson of The Chronicles moderated the discussion that started with the definition of "sustainability".
