Thank you Metropolis Magazine for recognizing the Trinity University Business & Humanities District with a 2025 Metropolis Planet Positive Award, showcasing sustainability, health and wellbeing in the built environment. The district was designed to merge 11 departments and form a vibrant interdisciplinary core on Trinity University's campus featuring two renovated historic mid-century modern buildings and the new mass timber Dicke Hall. As a gateway to the district and broader campus, Dicke Hall pays homage to Trinity’s design heritage while expressing the university’s commitment to innovation in liberal arts education and environmental stewardship. The new Dicke Hall reduces embodied carbon by 52% and energy use by 90% compared to similar buildings. The overall transformation expanded the district’s area by 42% with less than a 1% increase in total campus energy use.
