This film explains the significant commitments Duke Kunshan University has made to green design and construction, including a commitment that all current and new construction will achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification standards. It has also started to think about integration into local ecosystems. The campus is located in suburban Kunshan, where rapidly expanded urbanization can be both an opportunity and a threat to conservation. The campus supports a relatively high biodiversity, and the upcoming campus expansion project and the future Duke Garden provides Duke Kunshan with a unique opportunity to further advance its leadership in biodiversity conservation.
