Western Spirit: Scottsdale\u2019s Museum of the West<\/a>\u00a0has undertaken post-occupancy studies of how its green building features benefit the museum\u2019s business and the city at large.<\/p>\n The results, some of which will be shared at the national conference\u00a0Building Museums 2018<\/a>\u00a0in Philadelphia in March, show how green museums do better and also help improve their communities. The Old Town Scottsdale museum building, designed by architects\u00a0Studio Ma<\/a>\u00a0on a site designed by landscape architect\u00a0Colwell Shelor<\/a>, now documents savings of water and energy and reduced operating costs. The green features are also credited with drawing more return visitors and making the city cleaner and more interesting.<\/p>\n
