Hard to believe that it was a week ago when we were in Bozeman with incredible people and projects. Grateful to Kath Williams for making our visit so memorable and very much looking forward to our return. One of our stops included an amazing tour of the Montana State University-Bozeman. The campus was spectacular, innovative, and packed with #LEED buildings. Charlie Woodruff U.S. Green Building Council U.S. Green Building Council - U.S. Market Insights
