Jamie Horwitz describes how Polshek Partnership's design for a new student centre at Williams College, a small liberal arts college in Williamstown, Massachusetts, has successfully integrated ‘environmentally sensitive practices into the choreography of life’. Catering not only to students' 24‐hour needs, its dining facilities tap into a network of local food producers within its far‐reaching sustainable programme. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
