Craig Scranton, BNIM, will be speaking about unique sustainability practices, especially those being implemented in the new Bancroft School project. 

This previous Kansas City school was awarded Federal Historic Tax Credits, as well as Federal Income Housing Tax Credits. For decardes, the area this school sits in has seen deterioration and disinvestment. Brad Pitt's organization 'Make It Right' has donated more than $2 million philanthrophic dollars to help redevelop the school. This revitalization of this Green Impact Zone will provide residents with what they want and need.

Craig Scranton, AIA LEED AP

Principal | BNIM 

Craig has over 20 years of professional experience. As a leader in the firm and his professional community, Craig directs BNIM’s Government practice. Having served as project manager for some of BNIM’s most complex projects, he has developed an expertise in the design of the natural and built environments. 

Craig was part of the design team for the David & Lucile Packard Foundation in Los Altos, California, where he was instrumental in developing a sustainability matrix, which helped the architectural and construction industries understand the important relationship between the natural and built environments at the macro- and micro-levels.  

He is currently working with Make It Right-Kansas City and the Dalmark Group to renovate and redevelop the Bancroft School into low-income housing and community facilities. The mixed-use development is being designed to achieve LEED Platinum certification, meet Cradle-to-Cradle standards and serve as a prototype that could be replicable in similar neighborhoods.
