A large-scale renovation on the North Haven Campus — now home to the Center for Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, and the new Frank H. Net- ter School of Medicine — is Quinnipiac's latest conservation initiative. Plans to establish a graduate education center in North Haven first took root when Quinnipiac bought four corporate buildings from Anthem in 2007. As final construction planning began in 2013, UI provided energy-saving strategies, Mike Misiti, assistant director of facilities for Quinnipiac's North Haven campus (right) and Dave Jemele, who works on the school's mechanical systems, examine a roof chiller.

CTAA gave property manager WinnResidential the Green Property of the year award and the Above and Beyond Property Professional award for the 255-unit complex. First completed in 2009, Metro Green Apartments consist of 50 rental units and received the gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design program. The second phase added 50 units. Once complete, the facility will feature 255 units and a 17-story of- fice tower. The entire project is LEED Gold for neighborhood development. Transit-oriented development has become more popular, especially along the shoreline, as a way to reduce traffic by having people live and work near public transportation.
