As such, The Kendeda Building will abide by strict construction guidelines as well as operating procedures. This includes harvesting more energy than it uses on site through renewable sources, as well as collecting, treating, and reusing more water than it needs on an annual basis.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;We are excited to showcase The Kendeda Building to the campus community,\u0026rdquo; said Shan Arora, director of The Kendeda Building. \u0026ldquo;By design, it will necessitate that we think differently about how to occupy and use a building. It\u0026rsquo;s an educational process for us all.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAt this time, The Kendeda Building is available for reservations from October 28 to December 19, 2019.
