The past few years of my life/work life/lack of real life due to insane work life has been spent working on projects for at&t. I've been pushing and pushing them to change the way the way their Corporate Real Estate dept. handles design and construction. Concepts like biophilia and phylogenetics, using salvaged material and hardware, and updating plumbing and lighting fixtures. I've bitched, complained, and pleaded. And watch out, now they're listening. The link is to a news report about a project that I just finished which has been gaining attention here in San Antonio.
Basically we're using water which was previously a nuisance to the building causing soil movement and structural problems, and designed a system to control and fully harness the natural resource to provide water for toilets, landscaping, and mechanical equipment. We are even looking into getting the existing building LEED certified. This system saves at&t, it's customers, SAWS, and local tax-payers money. I've been pushing and pushing at&t to change their wasteful ways, it seems they're catching on, and it's nice to see that others in the community appreciate our efforts.
Welcome to the NEW at&t.
