Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm really pleased to be able to announce the launch of the web site
for the new, not-for-profit education centre of which I am a
founding director. I have decided to move on from my position at
Fleming College and be part of this new initiative to create a more
coherent and comprehensive sustainable building education centre,
based in my hometown of Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.<br>
<br>
You can see the new web site here: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.endeavourcentre.org/">www.endeavourcentre.org</a><br>
<br>
I hope you'll take a moment to check it out and hopefully link to it
from your own web site. I'd be glad to reciprocate if you let me
know.<br>
<br>
Those of you who are familiar with the program I started and have
been running at Fleming College for the past seven years (!) will
see a strong resemblance to that program in Endeavour's <i>Sustainable
New Construction</i> program. A similar model is being applied to
our <i>Sustainable Renovation</i> program. To these, we are adding
a new <i>Sustainable Design</i> program as well. All of these are
full-time, intensive programs with lots of hands-on involvement on
the part of the students. Active participation in full-scale
projects will continue to be at the core of our methodology.<br>
<br>
To these full-time programs, we're also adding a workshop schedule
full of shorter courses on specific topics. If you're somebody who
teaches workshops and you'd like to do so at Endeavour, please let
us know. We're excited to be able to host lots of you in this part
of the world and help you share what you do (while paying you to do
so!).<br>
<br>
Of particular interest to members of GSBN is the fact that Endeavour
will be able to accept students from outside Canada with no
penalties or increased fees. This was not possible at Fleming
College, and we look forward to the wider mix of students who will
be able to join us from around the world.<br>
<br>
We've put a lot of work into trying to make the Endeavour web site
informative. We are committed to "open source" sustainable building
and I'm keen to continue building the site and adding more detail
and documentary about what we do. I hope you find it interesting,
and I'm keen to hear your feedback.<br>
<br>
I am really excited about this new Endeavour, and hope to include an
awful lot of you in it at some point or another!<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Chris Magwood<br>
