The mission of the museum is to &#8220;ignite an enduring passion for the Adirondacks where people and nature can thrive together and set an example for the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Michael Phinney, principal architect, accepted the award on behalf of Phinney Design Group at the AIA New York State Design Awards event in Saratoga Springs on Sept. 30.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the year, Phinney Design was awarded an Excelsior Award from AIA New York State for the Bio Building. The winners of the Excelsior Awards are chosen for providing a model of excellence for state-funded design, professional practice and advocacy.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->The Wild Center&#039;s dedication to environmental education inspired them to choose Phinney Design Group, an architecture firm focused on sustainable design and environmentally sensitive construction techniques, to design their award-winning Bio Building, officials said.<\/p>\n<p>Phinney&#039;s experience with sustainable design, his LEED accreditation (one of the first in the state), and his previous experience on the first certified &quot;green building&quot; built in New York caught the Wild Center&#039;s attention when they were choosing a firm to design the Bio Building.<\/p>\n<p>The Natural History Museum&#039;s campus attained LEED Silver certification in 2008, becoming the first LEED-certified building in the Adirondack Park and the first LEED-certified museum in New York State. These sustainable strategies enable it to save between 20 and 30 percent on operating costs compared to a conventionally designed building.<\/p>\n<p>Further information on Phinney Design Group can be found at www.phinneydesign.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Phinney Design Group in Saratoga Springs, recently won the People&apos;s Choice award for this Bio Building, part of the Wild Center\/Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks in Tupper Lake.
